_fpclass, _fpclassf

Returns a value indicating the floating-point classification of the argument.

Syntax

int _fpclass(
   double x
);

int _fpclassf(
   float x
); /* x64 only */

Parameters

x
The floating-point value to test.

Return value

The _fpclass and _fpclassf functions return an integer value that indicates the floating-point classification of the argument x. The classification may have one of the following values, defined in <float.h>.

Value	Description
_FPCLASS_SNAN	Signaling NaN
_FPCLASS_QNAN	Quiet NaN
_FPCLASS_NINF	Negative infinity (-INF)
_FPCLASS_NN	Negative normalized non-zero
_FPCLASS_ND	Negative denormalized
_FPCLASS_NZ	Negative zero (-0)
_FPCLASS_PZ	Positive 0 (+0)
_FPCLASS_PD	Positive denormalized
_FPCLASS_PN	Positive normalized non-zero
_FPCLASS_PINF	Positive infinity (+INF)

Remarks

The _fpclass and _fpclassf functions are Microsoft-specific. They're similar to fpclassify, but return more detailed information about the argument. The _fpclassf function is only available when compiled for the x64 platform.

By default, this function's global state is scoped to the application. To change this behavior, see Global state in the CRT.

Requirements

Function	Required header
_fpclass, _fpclassf	<float.h>

For more compatibility and conformance information, see Compatibility.
