ISGREATEREQUAL(3)          POSIX Programmer's Manual         ISGREATEREQUAL(3)



PROLOG
       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The OS
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding
       OS manual page for details of OS behavior), or the interface may not be
       implemented on OS.

NAME
       isgreaterequal -- test if x is greater than or equal to y

SYNOPSIS
       #include <math.h>

       int isgreaterequal(real-floating _x, real-floating _y);

DESCRIPTION
       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the
       ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here
       and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1-2017
       defers to the ISO C standard.

       The isgreaterequal() macro shall determine whether its first argument
       is greater than or equal to its second argument. The value of
       isgreaterequal(_x, _y) shall be equal to (_x) >= (_y); however, unlike
       (_x) >= (_y), isgreaterequal(_x, _y) shall not raise the invalid floating-
       point exception when _x and _y are unordered.

RETURN VALUE
       Upon successful completion, the isgreaterequal() macro shall return the
       value of (_x) >= (_y).

       If _x or _y is NaN, 0 shall be returned.

ERRORS
       No errors are defined.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES
       None.

APPLICATION USAGE
       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, real-floating indicates that the argument shall be an
       expression of real-floating type.

RATIONALE
       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       None.
