.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
These functions compare the specified floating point numbers \fIx\fP and
|
|
|
|
|
\fIy\fP. They differ from the regular comparison operators in that they
|
|
|
|
|
recognize and additional 'unordered' relationship between the numbers if one of
|
|
|
|
|
them is NaN. As a consequence, these functions do not raise floating point
|
|
|
|
|
expceptions and can be safely used with NaN values.
|
|
|
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
|
|
|
|
The functions return a non-zero value if and only if the relationship specified
|
|
|
|
|
in the name holds between \fIx\fP and \fIy\fP. All functions except for
|
|
|
|
|
'isunordered' return zero if either of the numbers is NaN.
