Function std.math.NaN

Create a quiet NAN, storing an integer inside the payload.

real NaN (
  ulong payload
) pure nothrow @nogc @trusted;

For floats, the largest possible payload is 0x3F_FFFF. For doubles, it is 0x3_FFFF_FFFF_FFFF. For 80-bit or 128-bit reals, it is 0x3FFF_FFFF_FFFF_FFFF.

Example

real a = NaN(1_000_000);
assert(isNaN(a));
writeln(getNaNPayload(a)); // 1_000_000
