NAME
isgreater, isgreaterequal, isless, islessequal, islessgreater, isunordered — compare two floating-point numbersLIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)SYNOPSIS
#include < math.h> int
isgreater( real-floating x, real-floating y);
int
isgreaterequal( real-floating x, real-floating y);
int
isless( real-floating x, real-floating y);
int
islessequal( real-floating x, real-floating y);
int
islessgreater( real-floating x, real-floating y);
int
isunordered( real-floating x, real-floating y);
DESCRIPTION
Each of the macros isgreater(), isgreaterequal(), isless(), islessequal(), and islessgreater() take arguments x and y and return a non-zero value if and only if its nominal relation on x and y is true. These macros always return zero if either argument is not a number (NaN), but unlike the corresponding C operators, they never raise a floating point exception.The isunordered() macro takes arguments x and y and returns non-zero if and only if neither x nor y are NaNs. For any pair of floating-point values, one of the relationships (less, greater, equal, unordered) holds.
STANDARDS
The isgreater(), isgreaterequal(), isless(), islessequal(), islessgreater(), and isunordered() macros conform to ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (“ISO C99”).HISTORY
The relational macros described above first appeared in FreeBSD 5.1.February 12, 2003 | FreeBSD |
