ISLESSGREATER(P)                                              ISLESSGREATER(P)



NAME
       islessgreater - test if x is less than or greater than y

SYNOPSIS
       #include <math.h>

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


DESCRIPTION
       The  islessgreater()  macro shall determine whether its first argument is less than
       or greater than its second argument.  The islessgreater( x, y) macro is similar  to
       (x) < (y) || (x) > (y);  however,  islessgreater( x, y) shall not raise the invalid
       floating-point exception when x and y are unordered (nor shall it evaluate x and  y
       twice).

RETURN VALUE
       Upon  successful  completion,  the  islessgreater() macro shall return the value of
       (x) < (y) || (x) > (y).

       If x or y is NaN, 0 shall be returned.

ERRORS
       No errors are defined.

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.
