*Memos:

  • My post explains how to create nan and inf in PyTorch.
  • My post explains the comparisons with nan and inf in PyTorch.

The arithmetic operations with torch.nan and 100.0, torch.nan or torch.inf as shown below:

*Memos:

  • The arithmetic operations with nan are always nan:
  • complex type cannot do mod(modulo) calculation with %.
