Defined in header <cmath>
	(1)
bool isinf( float arg );			(since C++11) (until C++17)
int  isinf( float arg );			(since C++17)
		(2)
bool isinf( double arg );				(since C++11) (until C++17)
int  isinf( double arg );				(since C++17)
			(3)
bool isinf( long double arg );					(since C++11) (until C++17)
int  isinf( long double arg );					(since C++17)
				(4)
bool isinf( Integral arg );						(since C++11) (until C++17)
int  isinf( Integral arg );						(since C++17)

1-3) Determines if the given floating point number arg is a positive or negative infinity.

4) A set of overloads or a function template accepting the arg argument of any integral type. Equivalent to (2) (the argument is cast to double).

Parameters

arg

-

floating point value

Return value

true if arg is infinite, false otherwise	(until C++17)
Nonzero value if arg is infinite, ​0​ otherwise	(since C++17)

Example

Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
#include <cfloat>
 
int main()
{
    std::cout << std::boolalpha
              << "isinf(NaN) = " << std::isinf(NAN) << '\n'
              << "isinf(Inf) = " << std::isinf(INFINITY) << '\n'
              << "isinf(0.0) = " << std::isinf(0.0) << '\n'
              << "isinf(exp(800)) = " << std::isinf(std::exp(800)) << '\n'
              << "isinf(DBL_MIN/2.0) = " << std::isinf(DBL_MIN/2.0) << '\n';
}

Output:

isinf(NaN) = false
isinf(Inf) = true
isinf(0.0) = false
isinf(exp(800)) = true
isinf(DBL_MIN/2.0) = false
