What is inf and nan?

Question

Just a question that I\'m kind of confused about

So I was messing around with float(\'inf\') and kind of wondering what it is used for.

Also I n

Answer 1

You say:

when i do nan - inf i dont get -inf i get nan

This is because any operation containing NaN as an operand would return NaN.

A comparison with NaN would return an unordered result.

>>> float('Inf') == float('Inf')
True
>>> float('NaN') == float('NaN')
False
