How a first result of a first operation compares to a second result of a second
operation is identified. The identification may be performed without producing
the first result or the second result. The first result or the second result may
be selected in response to the identification, and the first operation or the second
operation may be performed in response to the selection to produce the selected
result. Alternatively, the first operation may be performed to produce the first
result and the second operation may be performed to produce the second result.
The produced first result or the produced second result may be selected in response
to the identification.
