Limits on the values of floating-point constants are given in the following table. The header file FLOAT.H contains this information.
Limits on Floating-Point Constants
Constant |
Meaning |

Number of digits, q, such that a floating-point number with q decimal digits can be rounded into a floating-point representation and back without loss of precision. |
6 15 15 |
FLT_EPSILONDBL_EPSILONLDBL_EPSILON |
Smallest positive number x, such that x + 1.0 is not equal to 1.0 |
