MAXMIN(3C)MAXMIN(3C)NAME
fmax, fmaxf, fmaxl, fmin, fminf, fminl - maximum and minimum functions
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
These routines are not available for programs compiled with the O32 ABI.
The fmax functions determine the maximum numeric value of their
arguments.
The fmin functions determine the minimum numeric value of their
arguments.
NOTES
Long double operations on this system are only supported in round to
nearest rounding mode (the default). The system must be in round to
nearest rounding mode when calling any of the long double functions, or
incorrect answers will result.
RETURN VALUES
If just one argument is a NaN, the fmax functions return the other
argument (if both arguments are NaNs, the functions return a NaN). The
analagous results are also true for the fmin functions.
