xt_double_cmp(3)	   Library Functions Manual	      xt_double_cmp(3)

NAME
       xt_double_cmp() - Compare two doubles for sort(3), bsearch(3), etc.

LIBRARY
       #include	<xtend/math.h>
       -lxtend

SYNOPSIS
       int     xt_double_cmp(const double *n1, const double *n2)

ARGUMENTS
       n1, n2  Pointers	to two double values

DESCRIPTION
       This  is	 a function that compares two doubles as a service to polymor-
       phic functions such as  qsort(3),  bsearch(3),  etc.   The  address  of
       xt_double_cmp()	is passed as an	argument to perform the	data type spe-
       cific comparison	on behalf of the sort of search	function.

RETURN VALUES
       A value > 0 if *n1 is greater than *n2 A	value <	0 if *n1 is less  than
       *n2 0 if	the values are equal

EXAMPLES
       double  list[LIST_SIZE];

       // sizeof(*list)	will continue to work if we change the data type
       // We'll	still need to change the cmp function, though
       qsort(list, LIST_SIZE, sizeof(*list),
	     (int (*)(const void *, const void *))xt_double_cmp);

SEE ALSO
       qsort(3), heapsort(3), mergesort(3), bsearch(3)
