NAME
isgreater() — floating-point quiet comparison macro (>)
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
int isgreater(
floating-expr
x,
floating-expr
y);
DESCRIPTION
The
isgreater()
macro determines whether its first argument is greater than its second
argument. The value of
isgreater(x,y)
is always equal to
(x) > (y);
however, unlike
(x) > (y),
isgreater(x,y)
does not raise the invalid exception when
x
and
y
are unordered.
The arguments must be of floating type.
For HP Integrity servers, the arguments
can be any floating type. For PA-RISC, each argument must be
either
double
or
float.
USAGE
To use the
isgreater()
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
isgreater()
macro returns the value of
(x) > (y).
The macro raises no floating-point exceptions.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
STANDARDS CONFORMANCE
isgreater(): ISO/IEC C99
