constexpr float lerp(float a, float b, float t) noexcept;constexpr double lerp(double a, double b, double t) noexcept;constexpr long double lerp(long double a, long double b, long double t) noexcept;

Remarks:Let r be the value returned.

If isfinite(a) && isfinite(b), then:

• If t == 0, then r == a.
• If t == 1, then r == b.
• If t >= 0 && t <= 1, then isfinite(r).
• If isfinite(t) && a == b, then r == a.
• If isfinite(t) || !isnan(t) && b-a != 0, then !isnan(r).

Let CMP(x,y) be 1 if x > y,-1 if x < y, and 0 otherwise.

For any t1 and t2, the product ofCMP(lerp(a, b, t2), lerp(a, b, t1)),CMP(t2, t1), andCMP(b, a)is non-negative.
