float       fdimf( float x, float y );
(since C99)
double      fdim( double x, double y );
(since C99)
long double fdiml( long double x, long double y );
(since C99)

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.

[edit] Parameters

x, y - floating point value

[edit] Return value

The positive difference value.
