Description

Numerical characteristics of the machine for floats. Contains analogues of much of the double precision details of .Machine.

Usage

Machine_float

Format

A list containing:

  • float.eps epsilon

  • float.xmin smallest non-zero float

  • float.xmax largest non-inf float

  • float.base radix

  • float.digits the number of bits for the sign+significand

  • float.exponent number of bits for the exponent

  • float.min.exp "largest negative" (smallest) integer for the exponent that generates a normalized floating-point number

  • float.max.exp largest integer for the exponent that generates a normalized floating-point number

Details

Values are taken directly from float.h.
