# isgreater

From cppreference.com
< c‎ | numeric‎ | math

Defined in header `<math.h>` |  |
#define isgreater(x, y) /* implementation defined */ |  | (since C99)

Determines if the floating point number `x` is greater than the floating-point number (`y`), without setting floating-point exceptions.

### [edit] Parameters

x | - | floating point value
y | - | floating point value

### [edit] Return value

Nonzero integral value if x > y, ​0​ otherwise.

### [edit] Notes

The built-in operator> for floating-point numbers may set FE_INVALID if one or both of the arguments is NaN. This function is a "quiet" version of operator>.

### [edit] Example

Run this code

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <math.h>

    int main(void)
    {
        printf("isgreater(2.0,1.0)      = %d\n", isgreater(2.0,1.0));
        printf("isgreater(1.0,2.0)      = %d\n", isgreater(1.0,2.0));
        printf("isgreater(INFINITY,1.0) = %d\n", isgreater(INFINITY,1.0));
        printf("isgreater(1.0,NAN)      = %d\n", isgreater(1.0,NAN));

        return 0;
    }

Possible output:

    isgreater(2.0,1.0)      = 1
    isgreater(1.0,2.0)      = 0
    isgreater(INFINITY,1.0) = 1
    isgreater(1.0,NAN)      = 0
