NAME
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:
┌──────────────┬────────────────────────────────┐
│Constant Name │ Description │
├──────────────┼────────────────────────────────┤
│HUGE_VAL │ │
│ │ A positive double │
│ │ constant expression. │
│ │ HUGE_VAL evaluates to │

│ │ the built-in math │
│ │ functions. │
└──────────────┴────────────────────────────────┘
