IEEE_QUIET_LT

Elemental Module Intrinsic Function (Generic): Performs a non-signaling comparison for less than. This is equivalent to the IEEE compareQuietLess operation.

Module

USE, INTRINSIC :: IEEE_ARITHMETIC

result = IEEE_QUIET_LT (a,b)

a

(Input) Must be of type REAL.

b

(Input) Must be of type REAL with the same kind type parameter as a.

Results

The result type is default LOGICAL. It has the value true if a compares less than b. If a or b is a NaN, the result is false. IEEE_INVALID signals if either a or b is a signaling NaN, otherwise no exception is signaled.

This is the compareQuietLess operation as specified in the ISO/IEC/IEEE 60559:2011 standard.

Example

The result value of IEEE_QUIET_LT (3.7, IEEE_VALUE (0.0, IEEE_QUIET_NAN)) is false and no exception is signaled.
