FMA(3)

NAME
fma, fmaf, fmal - floating-point multiply and add

SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>

double fma(double x, double y, double z);
float fmaf(float x, float y, float z);
long double fmal(long double x, long double y, long double z);

Compile with -std=c99; link with -lm.

DESCRIPTION
The fma() function computes x * y + z. The result is rounded according to the rounding mode determined by the value of FLT_ROUNDS. FLT_ROUNDS indicates the implementation-defined rounding behavior for floating-point addition, and has one of the following values:

-1  The rounding mode is not determinable.

0   Rounding is towards 0.

1   Rounding is towards nearest number.

2   Rounding is towards positive infinity.

3   Rounding is towards negative infinity.

Other values represent machine-dependent, non-standard rounding modes.
