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