In GNU C++ (but not in GNU C), <dl><dt><code></code><var>a</var><code> <? </code><var>b</var><code></code> <dd>is the <dfn>minimum</dfn>, returning the smaller of the numeric values<var>a</var> and <var>b</var>; <br><dt><code></code><var>a</var><code> >? </code><var>b</var><code></code> <dd>is the <dfn>maximum</dfn>, returning the larger of the numeric values <var>a</var>and <var>b</var>. </dl> <p>These operations are not primitive in ordinary C++, since you canuse a macro to return the minimum of two things in C++, as in thefollowing example.<pre class="smallexample"> #define MIN(X,Y) ((X) < (Y) ? : (X) : (Y)) </pre><p>You might then use <code>int min = MIN (i, j);</code> to set <var>min</var> tothe minimum value of variables <var>i</var> and <var>j</var>. <p>However, side effects in <code>X</code> or <code>Y</code> may cause unintendedbehavior. For example, <code>MIN (i++, j++)</code> will fail, incrementingthe smaller counter twice. The GNU C <code>typeof</code> extension allows youto write safe macros that avoid this kind of problem (see <a href="Typeof.html#Typeof">Typeof</a>). However, writing <code>MIN</code> and <code>MAX</code> as macros also forces you touse function-call notation for a fundamental arithmetic operation. Using GNU C++ extensions, you can write <code>int min = i <? j;</code>instead. <p>Since <code><?</code> and <code>>?</code> are built into the compiler, they properlyhandle expressions with side-effects; <code>int min = i++ <? j++;</code>works correctly. </body></html>
