The

.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
The relational and equality operators support the usual mathematical
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
relationships between numeric values. For any ordered pair of numeric
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
values, exactly one of the relationships (less, greater, and equal) is
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
true. Relational operators may raise the invalid floating-point
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
exception when argument values are NaNs. For a NaN and a numeric value,
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
or for two NaNs, just the unordered relationship is true. This macro
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
is a quiet (non-floating-point exception raising) version of a
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
relational operator. It facilitates writing efficient code that
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
accounts for NaNs without suffering the invalid floating-point
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
exception. In the SYNOPSIS section,
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.BR real-floating
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
indicates that the argument shall be an expression of
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.BR real-floating
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
type.
