NAME

       isunordered - test if arguments are unordered

SYNOPSIS

       #include <math.h>

       int isunordered(real-floating x, real-floating y);

DESCRIPTION

       The  isunordered()  macro  shall  determine  whether  its arguments are
       unordered.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful completion, the isunordered() macro shall return  1  if
       its arguments are unordered, and 0 otherwise.

       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.
