isnan
by documenting special cases. Namely, if either component isNaN
, the result should beTrue
; otherwise, the result should beFalse
. This follows Python, Julia, and NumPy.Notes

#530, a complex number can be both infinite and "NaN". This may not be intuitive for users accustomed to real-valued tests, where a real value is either infinite or NaN, but not both at the same time. Accordingly, users cannot rely on simply usingisnan
andisinf
to identify special results involving complex numbers in a mutually exclusive fashion (something which is commonly done when branching based on IEEE 754 floats).Reference
