anynan

Determine if any array element is NaN

Syntax

TF = anynan(A)

Description

TF = anynan(A) returns logical 1 (true) if at least one element of A is NaN. It returns 0 (false) if no element is NaN.

If A contains complex numbers, anynan(A) returns 1 if at least one element has a real or imaginary part that is NaN.

Examples

Determine If Vector Contains NaN

Create a row vector A. Determine if at least one element of A is NaN.

A = 0./[-2 -1 0 1 2]

A = 1×5

     0     0   NaN     0     0

TF = anynan(A)

TF = logical
   1

anynan returns logical 1 (true) because at least one element of A is NaN.

Create another row vector B. Determine if at least one element of B is NaN.

B = [-2 -1 1 2]/0

B = 1×4

  -Inf  -Inf   Inf   Inf

TF = anynan(B)

TF = logical
   0

anynan returns logical 0 (false) because no element of B is NaN.

Determine If Matrix Contains NaN

Create a matrix and determine if at least one of its elements is NaN.

A = [0 0 3;0 0 3;0 0 NaN]

A = 3×3

     0     0     3
     0     0     3
     0     0   NaN

TF = anynan(A)

TF = logical
   1

Determine If Array Contains NaN

Create a 3-D array and determine if at least one of its elements is NaN.

A(:,:,1) = [2 1; 3 5];
A(:,:,2) = [0 0; 0 Inf];
A(:,:,3) = [-2 9; 4 1]

A = 
A(:,:,1) =

     2     1
     3     5


A(:,:,2) =

     0     0
     0   Inf


A(:,:,3) =

    -2     9
     4     1

TF = anynan(A)

TF = logical
   0
