System.Single.Epsilon 屬性

本文提供此 API 參考文件的補充備註。

屬性值會反映實例值為 Epsilon 零時,數值作業或比較中最小的正 SingleSingle 。 例如,下列程式代碼顯示零和 Epsilon 視為不相等值,而 零和一半的值 Epsilon 視為相等。

更精確地說,單精度浮點格式包含符號、23 位的 mantissa 或 significand,以及 8 位指數。 如下列範例所示,零的指數為 -126,而 mantissa 為 0。 Epsilon 指數為 -126,且指數為 1。 這表示 Single.Epsilon 是大於零的最小正 Single 值,代表最小的可能值,以及其指數為 -126 的最小可能遞增 Single

不過, Epsilon 屬性不是型別有效位數的 Single 一般量值;它只適用於 Single 值為零的實例。

注意

屬性的值 Epsilon 不等於計算機 epsilon,這表示因浮點算術四捨五入而造成相對誤差的上限。

這個常數的值是 1.4e-45。

兩個明顯相等的浮點數可能不會比較相等,因為其最小有效位數的差異。 例如,C# 運算式 (float)1/3 == (float)0.33333不會比較相等,因為左邊的除法運算具有最大精確度,而右邊的常數只精確到指定的數位。 如果您建立自定義演算法來判斷兩個浮點數是否可視為相等,您必須使用大於 Epsilon 常數的值,為兩個值建立可接受的絕對差異邊界,才能視為相等。 (一般而言,差異的邊界是大於 Epsilon的倍數。

平臺注意事項

在 ARM 系統上,常數的值 Epsilon 太小而無法偵測到,因此相當於零。 您可以定義等於 1.175494351E-38 的替代 epsilon 值。
