The math
module in Python provides access to mathematical functions and constants. math.isnan()
checks whether a value is a number or not.
Suppose you want to validate records that specify the trends in inflation. math.isnan()
will be used to check if the values entered are numbers or not. This mechanism is used largely in validating systems.
math.isnan(x)
x
: The value to be checked.
This parameter is required.
The function returns a Boolean
value of true
if the value is not a number, and false
if it is a number.
