The **`fmaxl()`** function in C compares two numbers and returns the larger number.

To use the `fmaxl()` function, the program needs to include the header file `math.h` as shown below:
```C
#include <math.h>
```


> The exact `long double` value is returned without being rounded.


# Examples
The following code demonstrates how to use the `fmaxl()` function:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
 
int main(void)
{
  // Example 1
  long double x = 3.678;
  long double y = 9.345;
  // get larger value
  long double max = fmaxl(x,y);
  printf("The larger value is %Lf.\n",max);
  // Example 2
  max = fmaxl(x, NAN);
  printf("The larger value is %Lf.\n",max);
  // Example 3
  max = fmaxl(NAN, NAN);
  printf("The larger value is %Lf.\n",max);


}


gcc compiler

# Explanation
## Example 1
 If the inputs to the `fmaxl()` function are two `long double` values, the function returns the larger value.
## Example 2
 ﻿﻿If one input to the `fmaxl()` function is `NAN` and the second input is a `long double` value, the ﻿function returns the `long double` value.
## Example 3
If both inputs are `NAN`, then ﻿the function returns `NAN`.
