C programming - standard library float.h
The "float.h" header file in C programming provides information about the implementation-defined characteristics of the floating-point arithmetic used by the implementation.
Here are some of the commonly used macros defined in the "float.h" header file:
"FLT_RADIX": The base of the exponent for the floating-point representation.
"FLT_ROUNDS": The rounding mode used for floating-point arithmetic.
"FLT_EPSILON": The smallest positive floating-point value such that 1.0 + epsilon != 1.0.
"FLT_DIG": The number of decimal digits that can be represented without loss of precision by the float data type.
"FLT_MANT_DIG": The number of binary digits (bits) in the significand (mantissa) of the float data type.
"FLT_MAX": The maximum finite value that can be represented by the float data type.
"FLT_MIN": The minimum positive normalized value that can be represented by the float data type.
Here is an example of using the "float.h" header file in a C program:
refer to:theitroad.com#include <stdio.h> #include <float.h> int main() { printf("FLT_RADIX: %d\n", FLT_RADIX); printf("FLT_ROUNDS: %d\n", FLT_ROUNDS); printf("FLT_EPSILON: %e\n", FLT_EPSILON); printf("FLT_DIG: %d\n", FLT_DIG); printf("FLT_MANT_DIG: %d\n", FLT_MANT_DIG); printf("FLT_MAX: %e\n", FLT_MAX); printf("FLT_MIN: %e\n", FLT_MIN); return 0; }
In this example, the "float.h" header file macros are used to print information about the implementation-defined characteristics of the floating-point arithmetic used by the implementation to the console. The output of the program will vary depending on the specific implementation and platform.
