General description

The isgreater() macro or function template determines whether the argument x is greater than y. It is equivalent to (x) > (y), but no exception is raised if x or y are NaN.

Function	Hex	IEEE
isgreater	X	X

Note:

To use IEEE decimal floating-point, the hardware must have the Decimal Floating-Point Facility installed.
This function works in IEEE decimal floating-point format. See "IEEE Decimal Floating-Point" for more information.

Returned value

The isgreater() macro returns 1 if the value of x is greater than y, else returns 0. The C++ function template returns true if the value of x is greater than y, else returns false.
