Why is is matlab telling me it's a nan while it's a number????

Matlab keeps telling me nan while i have non 0/0 or something like that in my matrix, does anyone know?

@Nassib Aliouane: please show us the relevant code, values, and/or methods that you are using to check the values. There are many possible ways that data can be encoded and many possible ways that NaNs can occur: so far you have told us nothing at all that would allow us to actually understand what is happening.

0/0 is probably the most common way to generate a NaN, but it is not the only way. The Wikipedia entry for NaN lists three categories of operations that can generate a NaN, although some of the operations in the third category don't generate NaN in MATLAB since we can create and store complex numbers. Other common operations that can generate NaN are Inf-Inf or 0*Inf.

If you want to determine where the NaN is being generated and why, set an error breakpoint to stop on Inf or NaN and examine the values of the variables used on that line.
