Sometimes, we want to check for NaN values with Python.
In this article, we’ll look at how to check for NaN values with Python.
How to check for NaN values with Python?
To check for NaN values with Python, we can use the math.isnan
method.
For instance, we write:
import math
x = float('nan')
isnan = math.isnan(x)
print(isnan)
We call float
with a non-number string and assign that to x
.
Then we call math.isnan
with x
to check if x
is NaN or not and assign the returned result to isnan
.
Therefore, isnan
is True
since x
is not a number.
Conclusion
To check for NaN values with Python, we can use the math.isnan
method.
