77 in general, hypot and cabs return an integer whenever an
78 integer might be expected.
80 The same cannot be said for the shorter and faster version of hypot
81 and cabs that is provided in the comments in cabs.c; its error can
92 with "reserved operand" in place of "\*(Na", the
95 But programmers on machines other than a
98 might be surprised at first to discover that
99 .Fn hypot "\(+-\*(If" "\*(Na"
101 This is intentional; it happens because
102 .Fn hypot "\*(If" "v"
109 .Fn hypot "\*(If" "v"
112 Unlike the reserved operand fault on a
117 disappear when it turns out to be irrelevant, as it does in
118 .Fn hypot "\*(If" "\*(Na" .
135 functions use structures that are not defined in any header and need to
136 be defined by the user.
137 As such they cannot be prototyped properly.
