This header was originally in the C standard library as <float.h>.

This header is part of the type support library, in particular it's part of the C numeric limits interface.

Macros

FLT_RADIX	the radix (integer base) used by the representation of all three floating-point types (macro constant)
DECIMAL_DIG (C++11)	number of decimal digits that can be converted to long double and back without losing precision (macro constant)
FLT_MIN DBL_MIN LDBL_MIN	minimum value of float, double and long double respectively (macro constant)
FLT_MAX DBL_MAX LDBL_MAX	maximum value of float, double and long double respectively (macro constant)
FLT_EPSILON DBL_EPSILON LDBL_EPSILON	difference between 1.0 and the next representable value for float, double and long double respectively (macro constant)
FLT_DIG DBL_DIG LDBL_DIG	number of decimal digits that can be represented without losing precision for float, double and long double respectively (macro constant)
FLT_MANT_DIG DBL_MANT_DIG LDBL_MANT_DIG	number of base FLT_RADIX digits that can be represented without losing precision for float, double and long double respectively (macro constant)
FLT_MIN_EXP DBL_MIN_EXP LDBL_MIN_EXP	minimum negative integer such that FLT_RADIX raised by power one less than that integer is a normalized float, double and long double respectively (macro constant)
FLT_MIN_10_EXP DBL_MIN_10_EXP LDBL_MIN_10_EXP	minimum negative integer such that 10 raised by power one less than that integer is a normalized float, double and long double respectively (macro constant)
FLT_MAX_EXP DBL_MAX_EXP LDBL_MAX_EXP	maximum positive integer such that FLT_RADIX raised by power one more than that integer is a normalized float, double and long double respectively (macro constant)
FLT_MAX_10_EXP DBL_MAX_10_EXP LDBL_MAX_10_EXP	maximum positive integer such that 10 raised by power one more than that integer is a normalized float, double and long double respectively (macro constant)
FLT_ROUNDS	default rounding mode of floating-point arithmetics (macro constant)
FLT_EVAL_METHOD (C++11)	specifies in what precision all arithmetic operations are done (macro constant)
