Determine if NSNumber is NaN

How can I determine if a Cocoa NSNumber represents NaN (not a number)?

This emerges, for example, when I parse a string that has an invalid (non-numeric) contents.

Solution

  • So, I found out that the class property [NSDecimalNumber notANumber] is just for this purpose. In some languages NaN != NaN, but this isn't the case in Cocoa.
