- The MMAAXXEEXXPPOONNEENNTT intrinsic function returns the maximum exponent in the
- real number model. For more information on the real number model, see
- the MMOODDEELLSS(3I) man page. It accepts the following argument:
-
- _x Must be of type real. It may be scalar or array valued.
-
- MMAAXXEEXXPPOONNEENNTT is an inquiry function. The name of this intrinsic cannot
- be passed as an argument.
-
- RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEESS
- The result is a default integer scalar. The result has the value
- _e ,
- max
- as defined in the model, which represents numbers of the same type and
- kind type parameter as _x.
