How do you check for infinite and indeterminate values in C++?

Question

In my programs infinity usually arises when a value is divided by zero. I get indeterminate when I divide zero by zero. How do you check for infinite and indeterminate value

Answer 1

For Visual Studio I would use _isnan and _finite, or perhaps _fpclass.

But if you have access to a C++11-able standard library and compiler you could use std::isnan and std::isinf.
