std::numeric_limits::denorm_min - cppreference.com (original) (raw)

| static T denorm_min() throw(); | | (until C++11) | | ------------------------------------------ | | ------------- | | static constexpr T denorm_min() noexcept; | | (since C++11) |

Returns the minimum positive subnormal value of the type T, if std::numeric_limits<T>::has_denorm != std::denorm_absent, otherwise returns std::numeric_limits<T>::min() for floating point types and T() for all other types. Only meaningful for floating-point types.

[edit] Example

Demonstates the underlying bit structure of the denorm_min() and prints the values:

Possible output:
