.SH NAME

isless \- test if x is less than y

.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
.LP
|
||

\fB#include <math.h>

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
.LP
|
||
|
The \fIisless\fP() macro shall determine whether its first argument
|
||
|
is less than its second argument. The value of
|
||
|
\fIisless\fP( \fIx\fP, \fIy\fP) shall be equal to (\fIx\fP)\ <\ (\fIy\fP);
|
||
|
however, unlike
|
||
|
(\fIx\fP)\ <\ (\fIy\fP), \fIisless\fP( \fIx\fP, \fIy\fP) shall not
|
||
|
raise the invalid floating-point exception when
|
||
|
\fIx\fP and \fIy\fP are unordered.
|
||
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
||
|
.LP
|
||
|
Upon successful completion, the \fIisless\fP() macro shall return
|
||
|
the value of (\fIx\fP)\ <\ (\fIy\fP).
|
||
|
.LP
|
||
|
If \fIx\fP or \fIy\fP is NaN, 0 shall be returned.
|
||
|
.SH ERRORS
|
||
|

|
||
|
No errors are defined.

|

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