IEEE_MIN_MAG

Inquiry Module Intrinsic Function (Generic): Returns the minimum magnitude of two values. This is equivalent to the IEEE minimumMagnitude operation.

Module

USE, INTRINSIC :: IEEE_ARITHMETIC

result = IEEE_MIN_MAG (x,y)

x

(Input) Must be of type REAL.

y

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

Results

The result type is REAL with the same kind type parameter as x. The result is x if ABS(x) < ABS(y). The result is the value of y if ABS(y) < ABS(x). Otherwise, the result is the same as IEEE_MIN (x, y).

If either or both of the arguments is a signaling NaN, the exception IEEE_INVALID is signaled. No other exceptions are signaled.

This is the minimumMagnitude operation as specified in the ISO/IEC 60559:2020 standard.

Example

The result value of IEEE_MIN_MAG (3.7, -7.5) is 3.7.
