std::numeric_limits<T>::min_exponent
< cpp | types | numeric limits
static const int min_exponent; |
(until C++11) | |
static constexpr int min_exponent; |
(since C++11) | |
The value of std::numeric_limits<T>::min_exponent is the lowest negative number n
such that rn-1
, where r
is std::numeric_limits<T>::radix, is a valid normalized value of the floating-point type T
.

Example
Demonstrates the relationships of min_exponent, min_exponent10, min, and radix for the type float:
Run this code
#include <iostream> int main() { std::cout << "min() = " << std::numeric_limits<float>::min() << '\n' << "min_exponent10 = " << std::numeric_limits<float>::min_exponent10 << '\n' << std::hexfloat << "min() = " << std::numeric_limits<float>::min() << '\n' << "min_exponent = " << std::numeric_limits<float>::min_exponent << '\n'; }
Output:
min() = 1.17549e-38 min_exponent10 = -37 min() = 0x1p-126 min_exponent = -125
