the float limit issue

[denilia]

Hi everyone!

I need your help to find the biggest float that computer may use. I need to write a code how to do it, but without using lib FLOAT.H, but just usisng anything else like, for example, math. It is supposed to be portable, so I can use the same code on Windows and Unix

thank a lot

Hi

Check float.h or the documentation 'Float limits'. You will have the limits ( declared as constants) for Windows app.
I'm quite sure it exists something similar in Unix.
