NAME

isgreater,isgreaterequal, isless, islessequal, islessgreater,isunordered - compare two floating-point numbers

LIBRARY

Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS



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 NetBSD5.0.
