NAME

     fdim -- return difference if positive, 0 otherwise

SYNOPSIS

     #include <math.h>

     double
     fdim(double x, double y);

     float
     fdimf(float x, float y);

DESCRIPTION

     The fdim() and fdimf() functions return the "positive difference" between their arguments:  x - y if x > y, +0 if x is less than or equal to
     y.

SEE ALSO

     fma(3), fmax(3), fmin(3)

STANDARDS

     The fdim() and fdimf() functions conform to ISO/IEC 9899:1999(E).

NAME

       fdim, fdimf, fdiml - positive difference

SYNOPSIS

       #include <math.h>

       double fdim(double x, double y);
       float fdimf(float x, float y);
       long double fdiml(long double x, long double y);

       Link with -lm.

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       fdimf(), fdiml(): _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600 || _ISOC99_SOURCE; or cc -std=c99

DESCRIPTION

       These functions return the positive difference, max(x-y,0), between their arguments.

RETURN VALUE

       On success, these functions return the positive difference.

       If x or y is a NaN, a NaN is returned.

       If the result overflows, a range error occurs, and the functions return HUGE_VAL, HUGE_VALF, or HUGE_VALL, respectively.

ERRORS

       See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions.

       The following errors can occur:

       Range error: result overflow
	      An overflow floating-point exception (FE_OVERFLOW) is raised.

       These functions do not set errno.

VERSIONS

       These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.

CONFORMING TO
