Microsoft Specific

Limits on the values of floating-point constants are given in the following table. The header file FLOAT.H contains this information.

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
