Hi

I have a 3D array and I want to check if it contains an infinity. Is that possible? If so, any idea how to check it?

Thanks

Result = Where(FINITE( Array , /INFINITY[, SIGN=value] EQ 1)
Sign = 1, if you want positive infinities only
Sign = -1, for negative infinities
Sign = 0, for both

I've got one more question. Because my 3D array has thousands of elements I wanted to check whether Nans or infinity numbers exists but I cannot visualise all the outputs. My code is like this:

DataArray ; contains the 3D data

for i = 0, 199 do begin
for j = 0, 199 do begin
Barray = DataArray[*,i,j] - Array[i,j]
print, where(finite(Barray), /NAN))
endfor
endfor

I got the value -1 a lot of times, one printed after another . When I changed it to print, where(finite(Barray)) I got zeros. But I can only see in the last entries because the first are deleted. There is any other way? And what the -1 and 0 stands for?

See http://exelisvis.com/docs/WHERE.html

You might not want to use the Where() function. Just Finite().

Also, you can save yourself a for loop:

for i = 0, 199
print, finite(DataArray[i,*,*] - Array)
endfor

p.s. There are also ways of doing this without using a loop.
