- test if arguments are unordered

Synopsis

#include <math.h>

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

Description

The isunordered() macro determines whether its arguments are unordered.

Return Values

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

Errors

No errors are defined.

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 can 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 quiet 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.
