Defined in header <cmath>
float nanf( const char* arg );
(since C++11)
double nan( const char* arg );
(since C++11)
long double nanl( const char* arg );
(since C++11)

Converts the implementation-defined character string arg into the corresponding quiet NaN value. The call std::nan("string") is equivalent to the call std::strtod("NAN(string)", (char**)NULL);.

[edit] Parameters

arg - narrow character string identifying the contents of a NaN, or an empty string

[edit] Return value

The NaN value that corresponds to the identifying string arg or zero if the implementation does not support quiet NaNs.
