isfinite
Check whether symbolic array elements are finite
Syntax
Description
Examples
Determine Which Elements of Symbolic Array Are Finite Values
Using isfinite
, determine which elements of this
symbolic matrix are finite values:
isfinite(sym([pi NaN Inf; 1 + i Inf + i NaN + i]))
ans = 2×3 logical array 1 0 0 1 0 0
Determine if Exact and Approximated Values Are Finite
Approximate these symbolic values with the 50-digit accuracy:
V = sym([pi, 2*pi, 3*pi, 4*pi]); V_approx = vpa(V, 50);
The cotangents of the exact values are not finite:
cot(V) isfinite(cot(V))
ans = [ Inf, Inf, Inf, Inf] ans = 1×4 logical array 0 0 0 0
Nevertheless, the cotangents of the approximated values are finite due to the round-off errors:
isfinite(cot(V_approx))
ans = 1×4 logical array 1 1 1 1
