ansible.builtin.nan test – is this not a number (NaN)

Note

This test plugin is part of ansible-core and included in all Ansible installations. In most cases, you can use the short plugin name nan even without specifying the collections: keyword. However, we recommend you use the FQCN for easy linking to the plugin documentation and to avoid conflicting with other collections that may have the same test plugin name.

New in Ansible 2.5
