.Dd February 12, 2003 .Dt ISGREATER 3 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm isgreater , isgreaterequal , isless , islessequal , .Nm islessgreater , isunordered .Nd "compare two floating-point numbers" .Sh LIBRARY .Lb libc .Sh SYNOPSIS n math.h .Ft int .Fn isgreater "real-floating x" "real-floating y" .Ft int .Fn isgreaterequal "real-floating x" "real-floating y" .Ft int .Fn isless "real-floating x" "real-floating y" .Ft int .Fn islessequal "real-floating x" "real-floating y" .Ft int .Fn islessgreater "real-floating x" "real-floating y" .Ft int .Fn isunordered "real-floating x" "real-floating y" .Sh DESCRIPTION Each of the macros .Fn isgreater , .Fn isgreaterequal , .Fn isless , .Fn islessequal , and .Fn islessgreater take arguments .Fa x and .Fa y and return a non-zero value if and only if its nominal relation on .Fa x and .Fa 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.

p The .Fn isunordered macro takes arguments .Fa x and .Fa y and returns non-zero if and only if any of .Fa x or .Fa y are NaNs. For any pair of floating-point values, one of the relationships (less, greater, equal, unordered) holds. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr fpclassify 3 , .Xr math 3 , .Xr signbit 3 .Sh STANDARDS The .Fn isgreater , .Fn isgreaterequal , .Fn isless , .Fn islessequal , .Fn islessgreater , and .Fn isunordered macros conform to .St -isoC-99 . .Sh HISTORY The relational macros described above first appeared in .Fx 5.1 .
