Defined in header <cmath>
	(1)
int fpclassify(float num ); int fpclassify(double num ); int fpclassify(longdouble num );			(since C++11) (until C++23)
constexprint fpclassify(/* floating-point-type */ num );			(since C++23)
Additional overloads
Defined in header <cmath>
template<class Integer > int fpclassify( Integer num );		(A)	(since C++11) (constexpr since C++23)

1) Categorizes floating point value num into the following categories: zero, subnormal, normal, infinite, NAN, or implementation-defined category. The library provides overloads of std::fpclassify for all cv-unqualified floating-point types as the type of the parameter num.(since C++23)

A) Additional overloads are provided for all integer types, which are treated as double.

Parameters

num

-

floating-point or integer value

Return value

one of FP_INFINITE, FP_NAN, FP_NORMAL, FP_SUBNORMAL, FP_ZERO or implementation-defined type, specifying the category of num.

Notes

The additional overloads are not required to be provided exactly as (A). They only need to be sufficient to ensure that for their argument num of integer type, std::fpclassify(num) has the same effect as std::fpclassify(static_cast<double>(num)).

Example

Run this code

#include <cfloat>#include <cmath>#include <iostream>   auto show_classification(double x){switch(std::fpclassify(x)){caseFP_INFINITE:return"Inf";caseFP_NAN:return"NaN";caseFP_NORMAL:return"normal";caseFP_SUBNORMAL:return"subnormal";caseFP_ZERO:return"zero";default:return"unknown";}}   int main(){std::cout<<"1.0/0.0 is "<< show_classification(1/0.0)<<'\n'<<"0.0/0.0 is "<< show_classification(0.0/0.0)<<'\n'<<"DBL_MIN/2 is "<< show_classification(DBL_MIN/2)<<'\n'<<"-0.0 is "<< show_classification(-0.0)<<'\n'<<"1.0 is "<< show_classification(1.0)<<'\n';}

Output:

1.0/0.0 is Inf 0.0/0.0 is NaN DBL_MIN/2 is subnormal -0.0 is zero 1.0 is normal
