Because this unordered property is often unexpected, problems can arise when programmers write code that compares floating-point values without considering the semantics of NaN. For example, input validation checks that fail to consider the possibility of a NaN value as input can produce unexpected results. See rule "NUM11NUM08-J. Check floating-point inputs for exceptional values" for additional information.
