.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.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Fn isunordered
|
||
|
|
macro takes arguments
|
||
|
|
.Fa x
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.Fa y
|
||
|
|
and returns non-zero if and only if neither
|
||
|
|
.Fa x
|
||
|
|
nor
|
||
|
|
.Fa y
|
||
|
|
are NaNs.
|
||
|
|
For any pair of floating-point values, one
|
||
|
|
of the relationships (less, greater, equal, unordered) holds.
