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():
         _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L

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.
