A double can't equal 'double.nan', so the condition is always 'false'. A double can't equal 'double.nan', so the condition is always 'true'DRT-W1680
The analyzer produces this diagnostic when a value is compared to
double.nan
using either ==
or !=
.
Dart follows the IEEE 754 floating-point standard for the semantics of
floating point operations, which states that, for any floating point value
x
(including NaN, positive infinity, and negative infinity),
NaN == x
is always falseNaN != x
is always true
As a result, comparing any value to NaN is pointless because the result is already known (based on the comparison operator being used).
Example
The following code produces this diagnostic because d
is being compared
to double.nan
:
bool isNaN(double d) => d == double.nan;
Common fixes
Use the getter double.isNaN
instead:
bool isNaN(double d) => d.isNaN;
