<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The set of numbers in Scilab can be extended by adding %inf (infinity) and %nan (not a number). This is done with the Scilab function ieee:<br />
<br />
<br />
-->ieee() <br />
<br />
ans =0.<br />
<br />
We see the default floating-point exception mode to be zero<br />
<br />
<br />
-->1/0 <br />
<br />
!--error 27<br />
<br />
division by zero...<br />
<br />
Let us now use the standard ieee floating-point exception mode:<br />
<br />
-->ieee(2)<br />
<br />
-->1/0 <br />
<br />
ans =<br />
<br />
Inf<br />
<br />
In this mode, 1/0 evaluates to infinity.<br />
<br />
-->0/0 <br />
<br />
ans =<br />
<br />
Nan<br />
<br />
In this mode, 0/0 also is handled gracefully.</div>Gyan
