Question

I am collecting some data from a database and adding them together to get some statistics, but since I backdate some of my data then the calculated sum will sometime come up as NaN (not a number) I want to create an if sentence that says if(not a number) then exclude this data from my table.

How do I test if the data (in this case double) is NaN?

Answer 1

There are static methods Float.isNaN(float) and Double.isNaN(double) that you can use.

double x = ... // whatever calculation you do

if (Double.isNaN(x)) {
    ...
}
