+_Returns:_ A quiet NaN for each element.
+Each [code]#nancode[i]# is used in an implementation-defined manner to populate
+the significand of the resulting NaN for that element, as with [code]#std::nanf#
+or [code]#std::nan# for the corresponding element type.
+
+[NOTE]
+====
+Overloads (5) - (9) align [code]#sycl::nan# with [code]#std::nan#,
+[code]#std::nanf#, and [code]#std::nanl#, which take a [code]#const char*#
+argument.
+Unlike overloads (1) - (4), which allow placing a specific bit pattern in the
+NaN significand, overloads (5) - (9) produce a NaN whose significand is
+populated in an implementation-defined manner based on the string argument.
+For overloads (8) - (9), the template parameter [code]#T# must be specified
+explicitly since it cannot be deduced from the [code]#std::array<const char*,
+N># argument alone.
+For example:
+[source,c++]
+----
+auto v = sycl::nan<float, 4>(std::array<const char*, 4>{"", "", "", ""});
+auto m = sycl::nan<double, 4>(std::array<const char*, 4>{"", "", "", ""});
