NAME
islessgreater() - floating-point comparison macro (<>)
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
int islessgreater(
floating-expr x, floating-expr y);
DESCRIPTION
The islessgreater() macro determines whether its first argument is less than or greater than its
second argument. The value of islessgreater(x,y) is always equal to (x)<(y)||(x)>
(
y); however, islessgreater(x,y) does not raise the invalid exception when x and y are unordered
(nor does it evaluate x and y twice).
The macro can be used with either double or float arguments.
The ISO/ANSI C committee has approved the islessgreater() macro for inclusion in the C9X draft
standard.
To use the islessgreater()
macro, compile either with the default -Ae
option or with the -Aa and
-D_HPUX_SOURCE
options. Make sure your program includes <math.h>. Link in the math library by
specifying
-lm on the compiler or linker command line.
RETURN VALUE
The islessgreater() macro returns the value of
(x)<(y)||(x)>(y).
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
