numpy.isnan()

numpy.isnan

numpy.isnan(x[, out]) =

Test element-wise for NaN and return result as a boolean array.

Parameters:	x : array_like Input array.
Returns:	y : ndarray or bool For scalar input, the result is a new boolean with value True if the input is NaN; otherwise the value is False. For array input, the result is a boolean array of the same dimensions as the input and the values are True if the corresponding element of the input is NaN; otherwise the values are False.

Notes

Numpy uses the IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-Point for Arithmetic (IEEE 754). This means that Not a Number is not equivalent to infinity.

Examples

>>> np.isnan(np.nan)
True
>>> np.isnan(np.inf)
False
>>> np.isnan([np.log(-1.),1.,np.log(0)])
array([ True, False, False], dtype=bool)
