Constant Value:

implementation-dependent.

Description:

These constant variables provide a way for programs to examine the implementation-defined limits for the various float formats.

Of these variables, each which has ``-normalized'' in its name must have a value which is a normalized float, and each which does not have ``-normalized'' in its name may have a value which is either a normalized float or a denormalized float, as appropriate.

Of these variables, each which has ``short-float'' in its name must have a value which is a short float, each which has ``single-float'' in its name must have a value which is a single float, each which has ``double-float'' in its name must have a value which is a double float, and each which has ``long-float'' in its name must have a value which is a long float.

Examples: None.

See Also: None.
