Symbolic_Math_Constants - The following symbolic constants are available.
BUILT-IN MATH CONSTANTS
The following symbolic constants are available. Their values are of type float and are accurate within
the precision of a single precision floating-point number.
┌──────────────┬───────────────────────────────────────┐
│Constant Name │ Description │
├──────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────┤
│MAXFLOAT │ Value of maximum non-infinite │
│ │ single-precision floating-point │
│ │ number. │
├──────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────┤
│HUGE_VALF │ A positive float constant expression. │
│ │ HUGE_VALF evaluates to +infinity. │
│ │ Used as an error value returned by │
│ │ the mathFunctions(3clc). │
├──────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────┤
│INFINITY │ A constant expression of type float │
│ │ representing positive or unsigned │
│ │ infinity. │
├──────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────┤
│NAN │ A constant expression of type float │
│ │ representing a quiet NaN. │
└──────────────┴───────────────────────────────────────┘
If double precision is supported by the device, the following symbolic constant will also be available:
