Things that are numbers:
- a memory address
- the letter B
- an error encountered when trying to open a file
- the concept of being false, as opposed to being true

? If your’re referring to the C language convention that anything nonzero is ‘true’… false itself is exactly zero. Zero is a number. Perhaps I miss something here?

Dude, after forcing
-std=c++20, the compiler still can’t find a reference forstd::ostream::operator<<(float)…Do I have to link with some non-standard library? There doesn’t seem to have any

Weird, it should be standard C++20. Hope are you invoking gcc?

Edit: be sure to call g++, not gcc.

That makes sense though. Two things can be “not number” yet be different.

And they should still fail == because that’s the behavior of IEEE 754 numbers.

At least NaNs are different from each other and themselves.
