.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Fn fdim ,
|
||
|
|
.Fn fdimf ,
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.Fn fdiml
|
||
|
|
functions return the positive difference between
|
||
|
|
.Fa x
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.Fa y .
|
||
|
|
That is, if
|
||
|
|
.Fa x\- Ns Fa y
|
||
|
|
is positive, then
|
||
|
|
.Fa x\- Ns Fa y
|
||
|
|
is returned.
|
||
|
|
If either
|
||
|
|
.Fa x
|
||
|
|
or
|
||
|
|
.Fa y
|
||
|
|
is an \*(Na, then an \*(Na is returned.
|
||
|
|
Otherwise, the result is
|
||
|
|
.Li +0.0 .
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
Overflow or underflow may occur iff the exact result is not
|
||
|
|
representable in the return type.
|
||
|
|
No other exceptions are raised.
