ISGREATER(3)                            BSD Library Functions Manual                            ISGREATER(3)

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

LIBRARY
     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() takes
     arguments x and y and returns 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, returning non-zero if either x or y is NaN.  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'').
