Floating Limits
Microsoft Specific
The following table lists the limits on the values of floating-point constants. These limits are also defined in the standard header file FLOAT.H.
Limits on Floating-Point Constants
Constant |
Meaning |
Value |
---|---|---|
FLT_DIG DBL_DIG LDBL_DIG |
Number of digits, q, such that a floating-point number with q decimal digits can be rounded into a floating-point representation and back without loss of precision. |
6 15 15 |
FLT_EPSILON DBL_EPSILON LDBL_EPSILON |
Smallest positive number x, such that x + 1.0 is not equal to 1.0. |
1.192092896e–07F 2.2204460492503131e–016 2.2204460492503131e–016 |
FLT_GUARD |

0 |
FLT_MANT_DIG DBL_MANT_DIG LDBL_MANT_DIG |
Number of digits in the radix specified by FLT_RADIX in the floating-point significand. The radix is 2; hence these values specify bits. |

FLT_MAX_10_EXP DBL_MAX_10_EXP LDBL_MAX_10_EXP |
Maximum integer such that 10 raised to that number is a representable floating-point number. |
38 308 308 |
FLT_MAX_EXP DBL_MAX_EXP LDBL_MAX_EXP |
Maximum integer such that FLT_RADIX raised to that number is a representable floating- point number. |
128 1024 1024 |
FLT_MIN DBL_MIN LDBL_MIN |
Minimum positive value. |
1.175494351e–38F 2.2250738585072014e–308 2.2250738585072014e–308 |
