.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fmax ,
|
|
.Fn fmaxf ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn fmaxl
|
|
functions return the larger of
|
|
.Fa x
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa y ,
|
|
and likewise, the
|
|
.Fn fmin ,
|
|
.Fn fminf ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn fminl
|
|
functions return the smaller of
|
|
.Fa x
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa y .
|
|
They treat
|
|
.Li +0.0
|
|
as being larger than
|
|
.Li -0.0 .
|
|
If one argument is an \*(Na, then the other argument is returned.
|
|
If both arguments are \*(Nas, then the result is an \*(Na.
|
|
These routines do not raise any floating-point exceptions.
