How to check if an object is NaN

12 views (last 30 days)
I want to check a generic object "is equal" to NaN.
The command isnan(object) throws an error and the command isequal(object, NaN) returns false if object is NaN.
So my attempt is this rather complicated expression
isobjecteqNaN = @(object)isa(object,'double') && isscalar(object) && isnan(object);
isobjecteqNaN(NaN)
ans = logical
1
isobjecteqNaN({NaN})
ans = logical
0
Is there any better way to check?

How exactly will this work?
Suppose the input is {NaN}, how to check for this?
