numpy.isnan — NumPy v1.13 Manual (original) (raw)

numpy. isnan(x, /, out=None, *, where=True, casting='same_kind', order='K', dtype=None, _subok=True_[, signature, _extobj_]) = <ufunc 'isnan'>¶

Test element-wise for NaN and return result as a boolean array.

Parameters:	x : array_like Input array. out : ndarray, None, or tuple of ndarray and None, optional A location into which the result is stored. If provided, it must have a shape that the inputs broadcast to. If not provided or None, a freshly-allocated array is returned. A tuple (possible only as a keyword argument) must have length equal to the number of outputs. where : array_like, optional Values of True indicate to calculate the ufunc at that position, values of False indicate to leave the value in the output alone. **kwargs For other keyword-only arguments, see theufunc docs.
Returns:	y : ndarray or bool For scalar input, the result is a new boolean with value True if the input is NaN; otherwise the value is False. For array input, the result is a boolean array of the same dimensions as the input and the values are True if the corresponding element of the input is NaN; otherwise the values are False.

Parameters:

x : array_like Input array. out : ndarray, None, or tuple of ndarray and None, optional A location into which the result is stored. If provided, it must have a shape that the inputs broadcast to. If not provided or None, a freshly-allocated array is returned. A tuple (possible only as a keyword argument) must have length equal to the number of outputs. where : array_like, optional Values of True indicate to calculate the ufunc at that position, values of False indicate to leave the value in the output alone. **kwargs For other keyword-only arguments, see theufunc docs.

Returns:

y : ndarray or bool For scalar input, the result is a new boolean with value True if the input is NaN; otherwise the value is False. For array input, the result is a boolean array of the same dimensions as the input and the values are True if the corresponding element of the input is NaN; otherwise the values are False.

Notes

NumPy uses the IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-Point for Arithmetic (IEEE 754). This means that Not a Number is not equivalent to infinity.
