std::numeric_limits::max_exponent10(3) C++ Standard Libary std::numeric_limits::max_exponent10(3)

NAME

std::numeric_limits::max_exponent10 - std::numeric_limits::max_exponent10

Synopsis


static const int max_exponent10; (until C++11)
static constexpr int max_exponent10; (since C++11)


The value of std::numeric_limits<T>::max_exponent10 is the largest positive number n
such that \(\scriptsize 10^n\)10n
is a representable finite value of the floating-point type T.

Example


Demonstrates the relationships of max_exponent, max_exponent10, and max() for the
type float:

// Run this code


#include <iostream>
#include <limits>


int main()
{
std::cout << "max() = " << std::numeric_limits<float>::max() << '\n'
<< "max_exponent10 = " << std::numeric_limits<float>::max_exponent10 << '\n'
<< std::hexfloat << '\n'
<< "max() = " << std::numeric_limits<float>::max() << '\n'
<< "max_exponent = " << std::numeric_limits<float>::max_exponent << '\n';
}

Output:


max() = 3.40282e+38
max_exponent10 = 38


max() = 0x1.fffffep+127
max_exponent = 128
