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.
