- eepp is the general name for the set of intrinsic functions which return
- the numeric characteristics of each of the standard numeric types.
-
- eeppbbaassee returns the base for the type of the argument (for floating
- point types, eeppbbaassee returns the base of the mantissa). Currently this
- is 2.
-
- eepppprreecc returns the precision (in terms of power of the base) for the
- type of the argument. The sign bit (if any) is not included in the
- precision. The assumed bit (see IEEE floating point specifications),
- if any, is included in the precision.
-
- eeppeemmiinn and eeppeemmaaxx return the minimum (or maximum) exponent for the
- floating point type of the argument.
-
- eeppttiinnyy and eepphhuuggee return the smallest (or largest) non-zero positive
- number in the type of the argument.
-
- eeppmmrrsspp returns the epsilon for the floating point type of the
- argument.
-
- NNOOTTEESS
- eeppttiinnyy is not supported for integer types. It can be assumed to be 1.
