<P>
All functions described here:
<DL COMPACT><DT id="1"><DD>
_ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE&nbsp;&gt;=&nbsp;200112L
</DL>
<A NAME="lbAD">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
The normal relational operations (like
<B>&lt;</B>,
&quot;less than&quot;)
fail if one of the operands is NaN.
This will cause an exception.
To avoid this, C99 defines the macros listed below.
<P>
These macros are guaranteed to evaluate their arguments only once.
The arguments must be of real floating-point type (note: do not pass
integer values as arguments to these macros, since the arguments will
<I>not</I>
be promoted to real-floating types).
<DL COMPACT>
<DT id="2"><B>isgreater</B>()
<DD>
determines <I>(x)&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;(y)</I> without an exception
if
<I>x</I>
or
<I>y</I>
is NaN.
<DT id="3"><B>isgreaterequal</B>()
<DD>
determines <I>(x)&nbsp;&gt;=&nbsp;(y)</I> without an exception
if
<I>x</I>
or
<I>y</I>
is NaN.
<DT id="4"><B>isless</B>()
<DD>
determines <I>(x)&nbsp;&lt;&nbsp;(y)</I> without an exception
if
<I>x</I>
or
<I>y</I>
is NaN.
<DT id="5"><B>islessequal</B>()
<DD>
determines <I>(x)&nbsp;&lt;=&nbsp;(y)</I> without an exception
if
<I>x</I>
or
<I>y</I>
is NaN.
<DT id="6"><B>islessgreater</B>()
<DD>
determines <I>(x)&nbsp;&lt; (y) || (x) &gt;&nbsp;(y)</I>
without an exception if
<I>x</I>
or
<I>y</I>
is NaN.
This macro is not equivalent to <I>x&nbsp;!=&nbsp;y</I> because that expression is
true if
<I>x</I>
or
<I>y</I>
is NaN.
<DT id="7"><B>isunordered</B>()
<DD>
determines whether its arguments are unordered, that is, whether
at least one of the arguments is a NaN.
</DL>
<A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2>
The macros other than
<B>isunordered</B>()
return the result of the relational comparison;
these macros return 0 if either argument is a NaN.
<P>
<B>isunordered</B>()
returns 1 if
<I>x</I>
or
<I>y</I>
is NaN and 0 otherwise.
<A NAME="lbAF">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>ERRORS</H2>
No errors occur.

<H2>NOTES</H2>
Not all hardware supports these functions,
and where hardware support isn't provided, they will be emulated by macros.
This will result in a performance penalty.
Don't use these functions if NaN is of no concern for you.
