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

1) Determines if the given floating-point number num is a positive or negative infinity. The library provides overloads 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

true if num is infinite, false otherwise.

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::isinf(num) has the same effect as std::isinf(static_cast<double>(num)).

Example

Run this code

#include <cfloat>
#include <cmath>
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
    std::cout << std::boolalpha
              << "isinf(NaN) = " << std::isinf(NAN) << '\n'
              << "isinf(Inf) = " << std::isinf(INFINITY) << '\n'
              << "isinf(0.0) = " << std::isinf(0.0) << '\n'
              << "isinf(exp(800)) = " << std::isinf(std::exp(800)) << '\n'
              << "isinf(DBL_MIN/2.0) = " << std::isinf(DBL_MIN / 2.0) << '\n';
}

Output:

isinf(NaN) = false
isinf(Inf) = true
isinf(0.0) = false
isinf(exp(800)) = true
isinf(DBL_MIN/2.0) = false
