SYNOPSIS

10
11       double fdim(double x, double y);
12       float fdimf(float x, float y);
13       long double fdiml(long double x, long double y);

DESCRIPTION

23       These  functions  return  the  positive difference, max(x-y,0), between
24       their arguments.
25

RETURN VALUE

27       On success, these functions return the positive difference.
28
29       If x or y is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
30
31       If the result overflows, a range error occurs, and the functions return
32       HUGE_VAL, HUGE_VALF, or HUGE_VALL, respectively.
33

ERRORS

35       See  math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error
36       has occurred when calling these functions.
37
38       The following errors can occur:
39
40       Range error: result overflow
41              An overflow floating-point exception (FE_OVERFLOW) is raised.
42
43       These functions do not set errno.
44

VERSIONS

46       These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.
