ISUNORDERED(P)                                                                     ISUNORDERED(P)



NAME
       isunordered - test if arguments are unordered

SYNOPSIS
       #include <math.h>

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


DESCRIPTION
       The isunordered() macro shall determine whether its arguments are unordered.

RETURN VALUE
       Upon  successful  completion,  the isunordered() macro shall return 1 if its arguments are
       unordered, and 0 otherwise.

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

ERRORS
       No errors are defined.

       The following sections are informative.

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 SYN-
       OPSIS  section,  real-floating indicates that the argument shall be an expression of real-
       floating type.

RATIONALE
       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       None.
