What we *want* to know at this point is whether the remainder m is less than, equal to, or greater than half of absy. However, we can't do that comparison directly because we - can't be sure that 0.5*absy is representable (the mutiplication + can't be sure that 0.5*absy is representable (the multiplication might incur precision loss due to underflow). So instead we compare m with the complement c = absy - m: m < 0.5*absy if and only if m < c, and so on. The catch is that absy - m might also not be |
