Header file:

<Cfloat> (float. h)

Floating Point Type

This header file describes Floating Point features for special systems and compiler implementations.

A floating point number contains four elements:

  • A sign: positive or negative;
  • A base: This indicates that different numbers can be represented by a single number (2 is binary), and 10 is decimal ), 16 is the hexadecimal (hexadecimal )...);
  • A significand: This is a series of base numbers mentioned earlier. In this series, the number of digits is a well-known precision;
  • An exponent: it represents the offset of a valid number and affects its value in the following way:
Floating point value = valid number x base index (and corresponding sign (sign ))(Image)

Macro constant

The following table shows the names of different variables defined in this header file and the minimum and maximum values of all implementations.
(The specific implementation value may be greater or smaller than this value. See the description ):

When a group of macro storage is prefixed with FLT _, DBL _, and LDBL _, the one starting with FLT _ applies to float,Which must start with DBL _ is applicable to doubleLong double;

Name Value Representative Indicates
FLT_RADIX 2 or larger Base (radix)
Base number of all floating point types
FLT_MANT_DIG
DBL_MANT_DIG
LDBL_MANT_DIG
 

Number of digits of the ending number

(MANTissa DIGits)

The precision of the valid number, which is consistent with the number of digits of the valid number.

Precision

(DIGits)

A number in decimal format can be converted to a floating point number without changing the integer number.

Minimum Minimum floating point number
FLT_ROUNDS   Rounding Mode

Rounding behavior. Possible values:

-1: Unknown

0: round to 0

1: Rounding

2: positive infinity

3: negative infinity

* Applicable to All floating point types (float, double, and long double)

FLT_EVAL_METHOD   Assignment Method

Attribute of the value assignment format. Possible values:

-1: Unknown

0: The range and precision of the value assignment type

1: when assigning values, float and double are treated as double,

Long double is treated as long double.

2: When a value is assigned, all values are treated as long double. Other negative values indicate the implementation-defined behavior.

* Applicable to All floating point types

DECIMAL_DIG   Decimal precision

You can convert a decimal number to a floating point number,

And no precision is lost when it is converted to the same number as the original one.

 

Versatility

 

 

FLT_EVAL_METHODAndDECIMAL_DIGIs defined in the library that complies with the C99 standard or only in the library that complies with the C11 Standard
