NaN Values (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

The term NaN, which means not a number, is a symbolic entity that represents a value not otherwise available in floating-point format.

There are two kinds of NaNs.

  • Quiet
    Represent unknown or uninitialized values.
  • Signaling
    Represent symbolic values and values that are too big or too precise for the format. Signaling NaNs raise an invalid operation exception whenever an operation is attempted on them.
