Description

§

(infinite? z)

The infinite? procedure returns #t on the real numbers +inf.0 and -inf.0, and on complex numbers if their real or imaginary parts or both are infinite. Otherwise it returns #f.

(infinite? 3)            ===>  #f
(infinite? +inf.0)       ===>  #t
(infinite? +nan.0)       ===>  #f
(infinite? 3.0+inf.0i)   ===>  #t
