## Usage

```javascript
var pdifff = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/pdifff' );
```

#### pdifff( x, y )

Returns the positive difference between `x` and `y` if `x < y`; otherwise, returns `0`.

```javascript
var v = pdifff( 4.15, 3.15 );
// returns 1.0

v = pdifff( 3.14, 4.2 );
// returns +0.0

v = pdifff( -0.0, +0.0 );
// returns +0.0
```

If any argument is `NaN`, the function returns `NaN`.

```javascript
var v = pdifff( 4.2, NaN );
// returns NaN

v = pdifff( NaN, 3.14 );
// returns NaN

v = pdifff( NaN, NaN );
// returns NaN
```

### Usage

```c
#include "stdlib/math/base/special/pdifff.h
```

#### stdlib_base_pdifff( x, y )

Returns the positive difference between `x` and `y` (single-precision).

```c
float v = stdlib_base_pdifff( 4.0f, 3.0f );
// returns 1.0f
```

The function accepts the following arguments:

-   **x**: `[in] float` input value.
-   **y**: `[in] float` input value.

```c
float stdlib_base_pdifff( const float x, const float y );
```
