SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h> double
fmax (double x double y); float
fmaxf (float x float y); long double
fmaxl (long double x long double y); double
fmin (double x double y); float
fminf (float x float y); long double
fminl (long double x long double y);
DESCRIPTION
The
fmax (,);
fmaxf (,);
and
fmaxl ();
functions return the larger of
Fa x
and
Fa y ,
and likewise, the
fmin (,);
fminf (,);
and
fminl ();
functions return the smaller of
Fa x
and
Fa y .
They treat
+0.0
as being larger than
-0.0
If one argument is an , then the other argument is returned.
If both arguments are s, then the result is an .
These routines do not raise any floating-point exceptions.
