nan (MathScript RT Module Function)
Owning Classes: constants and matrix
Requires: MathScript RT Module
Syntax
c = nan
c = nan(a)
c = nan(a, b)
Description
Generates a matrix of values that are not-a-number, or NaN, or indicates that a value is not-a-number. The IEEE standard for floating-point arithmetic defines NaN as the result of nonsensical operations.
Inputs
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| a | Specifies the number of rows in c. a is a positive integer. |
| b | Specifies the number of columns in c. b is a positive integer. |
Outputs
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| c | Returns an a-by-b matrix whose elements are all NaN. If you specify a but not b, c returns a square matrix of order a. If you do not specify an input, c returns a value of NaN. |
Examples
C = nan(3, 5)
