NAME

6       isgreaterequal - test if x is greater than or equal to y
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <math.h>
10
11       int isgreaterequal(real-floating x, real-floating y);

DESCRIPTION

15       The  isgreaterequal()  macro shall determine whether its first argument
16       is greater than  or  equal  to  its  second  argument.   The  value  of
17       isgreaterequal(  x,  y)  shall  be equal to (x) >= (y); however, unlike
18       (x) >= (y), isgreaterequal( x, y) shall not raise the invalid floating-
19       point exception when x and y are unordered.
20

RETURN VALUE

22       Upon successful completion, the isgreaterequal() macro shall return the
23       value of (x) >= (y).
24
25       If x or y is NaN, 0 shall be returned.

APPLICATION USAGE

36       The relational and equality operators support  the  usual  mathematical
37       relationships  between  numeric values. For any ordered pair of numeric
38       values, exactly one of the relationships (less, greater, and equal)  is
39       true.  Relational operators may raise the invalid floating-point excep‐
40       tion when argument values are NaNs. For a NaN and a numeric  value,  or
41       for  two NaNs, just the unordered relationship is true. This macro is a
42       quiet (non-floating-point exception raising) version  of  a  relational
43       operator.  It facilitates writing efficient code that accounts for NaNs
44       without suffering the invalid floating-point exception. In the SYNOPSIS
45       section,  real-floating indicates that the argument shall be an expres‐
46       sion of real-floating type.
