Function `std.math.fdim`

Returns the positive difference between x and y.


						
				real fdim
				(
				

				  real x,
				

				  real y
				

				) pure nothrow @nogc @safe;

Equivalent to fmax(x-y, 0).

Returns

Special Values
x, y	fdim(x, y)
x > y	x - y
x <= y	+0.0

Example

writeln(fdim(2.0, 0.0)); // 2.0
writeln(fdim(-2.0, 0.0)); // 0.0
writeln(fdim(real.infinity, 2.0)); // real.infinity
writeln(fdim(real.nan, 2.0)); // 0.0
writeln(fdim(2.0, real.nan)); // 0.0
}

/**
* Returns the larger of x and y.
*/
real fmax(real x, real y) @safe pure nothrow @nogc { return x > y ? x : y;
