Julia | floatmin() and floatmax() functions

floatmin() and floatmax() are the library functions of the Julia programming language and are used to get the smallest absolute and highest finite value of the given floating-point data type.

Syntax:

    floatmin(T)
    floatmax(T)

Here, T is the floating-point data type.

Example:

# Julia example of
# floatmin() and floatmax() functions

println("floatmin(Float16): ", floatmin(Float16))
println("floatmin(Float32): ", floatmin(Float32))
println("floatmin(Float64): ", floatmin(Float64))

println("floatmax(Float16): ", floatmax(Float16))
println("floatmax(Float32): ", floatmax(Float32))
println("floatmax(Float64): ", floatmax(Float64))

Output

floatmin(Float16): 6.104e-5
floatmin(Float32): 1.1754944e-38
floatmin(Float64): 2.2250738585072014e-308
floatmax(Float16): 6.55e4
floatmax(Float32): 3.4028235e38
floatmax(Float64): 1.7976931348623157e308
