Defined in header <cmath>
	(1)
bool isgreater( float x, float y ); bool isgreater( double x, double y ); bool isgreater( long double x, long double y );			(since C++11) (until C++23)

Additional overloads
Defined in header <cmath>
template< class Arithmetic1, class Arithmetic2 > bool isgreater( Arithmetic1 x, Arithmetic2 y );		(A)	(since C++11) (constexpr since C++23)

1) Determines if the floating point number x is greater than the floating-point number y, without setting floating-point exceptions. The library provides overloads for all cv-unqualified floating-point types as the type of the parameters x and y. (since C++23)

A) Additional overloads are provided for all other combinations of arithmetic types.

Parameters

x, y

-

floating-point or integer values

Return value

true if x > y, false otherwise.

Notes

The built-in operator> for floating-point numbers may set FE_INVALID if one or both of the arguments is NaN. This function is a "quiet" version of operator>.

The additional overloads are not required to be provided exactly as (A). They only need to be sufficient to ensure that for their first argument num1 and second argument num2:

If num1 or num2 has type long double, then std::isgreater(num1, num2) has the same effect as std::isgreater(static_cast<long double>(num1),                static_cast<long double>(num2)). Otherwise, if num1 and/or num2 has type double or an integer type, then std::isgreater(num1, num2) has the same effect as std::isgreater(static_cast<double>(num1),                static_cast<double>(num2)). Otherwise, if num1 or num2 has type float, then std::isgreater(num1, num2) has the same effect as std::isgreater(static_cast<float>(num1),                static_cast<float>(num2)).

(until C++23)

If num1 and num2 have arithmetic types, then std::isgreater(num1, num2) has the same effect as std::isgreater(static_cast</* common-floating-point-type */>(num1),                static_cast</* common-floating-point-type */>(num2)), where /* common-floating-point-type */ is the floating-point type with the greatest floating-point conversion rank and greatest floating-point conversion subrank between the types of num1 and num2, arguments of integer type are considered to have the same floating-point conversion rank as double. If no such floating-point type with the greatest rank and subrank exists, then overload resolution does not result in a usable candidate from the overloads provided.
