COPYSIGN

Section: Linux Programmer's Manual (3)
Updated: 2017-09-15

NAME

copysign, copysignf, copysignl - copy sign of a number  

SYNOPSIS

#include <math.h>

double copysign(double x, double y);
float copysignf(float x, float y);
long double copysignl(long double x, long double y);

Link with -lm.

Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

copysign(), copysignf(), copysignl():

_ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
    || /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
    || /* Glibc versions <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
 

DESCRIPTION

These functions return a value whose absolute value matches that of x, but whose sign bit matches that of y.

For example, copysign(42.0, -1.0) and copysign(-42.0, -1.0) both return -42.0.  

RETURN VALUE

On success, these functions return a value whose magnitude is taken from x and whose sign is taken from y.

If x is a NaN, a NaN with the sign bit of y is returned.  

ERRORS

No errors occur.
