Defined in header <cmath>
float       fdim( float x, float y );
(1) (since C++11)
double      fdim( double x, double y );
(2) (since C++11)
long double fdim( long double x, long double y );
(3) (since C++11)
Promoted    fdim( Arithmetic1 x, Arithmetic2 y );
(4) (since C++11)

Returns the positive difference between x and y. This could be implemented as fmax (x - y, 0), so if x ≤ y, the result is always equals to 0, otherwise it is x - y.

4) If any argument has integral type, it is cast to double. If any other argument is long double, then the return type is long double, otherwise it is double.

[edit] Parameters

x, y - values of floating-point or integral types

[edit] Return value

The positive difference value.
