<A NAME="lbAD">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
These functions return a value whose absolute value matches that of
<I>x</I>,
but whose sign bit matches that of
<I>y</I>.
<P>
For example,
<I>copysign(42.0,&nbsp;-1.0)</I>
and
<I>copysign(-42.0, -1.0)</I>
both return -42.0.
<A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2>
On success, these functions return a value whose magnitude is taken from
<I>x</I>
and whose sign is taken from
<I>y</I>.
<P>
If
<I>x</I>
is a NaN,
a NaN with the sign bit of
<I>y</I>
is returned.
<A NAME="lbAF">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>ERRORS</H2>
No errors occur.

<H2>CONFORMING TO</H2>
C99, POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.
This function is defined in IEC 559 (and the appendix with
recommended functions in IEEE 754/IEEE 854).
<A NAME="lbAI">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>NOTES</H2>
On architectures where the floating-point formats are not IEEE 754 compliant,
these
functions may treat a negative zero as positive.
