Include the standard header <math.h> to declare a number of functions that perform common mathematical operations on real floating-point values (of type float, double, or long double).

A domain error occurs when the function is not defined for its input argument value or values. A function can report a domain error by storing the value of EDOM in errno and returning a particular value defined for each implementation. Or it can raise an invalid floating-point exception. The macro math_errhandling specifies whether either or both of these approaches is taken.

A range error occurs when the return value of the function is defined but cannot be represented. A function can report a range error by storing the value of ERANGE in errno and returning one of several values:

HUGE_VAL -- if the value of a function returning double is positive and too large in magnitude to represent
HUGE_VALF -- if the value of a function returning float is positive and too large in magnitude to represent
HUGE_VALL -- if the value of a function returning long double is positive and too large in magnitude to represent
-HUGE_VAL -- if the value of a function returning double is negative and too large in magnitude to represent
-HUGE_VALF -- if the value of a function returning float is negative and too large in magnitude to represent
-HUGE_VALL -- if the value of a function returning long double is negative and too large in magnitude to represent
zero -- if the value of the function is too small to represent with a finite value

Or it can raise an invalid floating-point exception. The macro math_errhandling specifies whether either or both of these approaches is taken.

and returning a particular value defined for each implementation.

The pragma:

#pragma STD FP_CONTRACT [ON|OFF|DEFAULT]

(added with C99) controls the behavior of real floating-point expression contraction. If the parameter is ON, the translator is permitted to evaluate an expression atomically, possibly omitting rounding errors and the raising of floating-point exceptions. If the parameter is OFF, contraction is disallowed. The parameter DEFAULT restores the original state, which is implementation defined. If the pragma occurs outside an external declaration, it remains in effect until overridden by another such pragma. If the pragma occurs inside an external declaration, it must precede all explicit declarations and statements within a compound statement. It remains in effect until overridden by another such pragma or until the end of the compound statement.
