Subject: What's the floating point equivalent of 'first 'last ??
Date: 24 Mar 92 16:00:29 GMT [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1992Mar24.100029.1@cc.utah.edu> (raw)
This may be a FAQ, but I wouldn't know where to look for the FAQ
if there was one.
What's the equivalent of 'first and 'last on a floating point type?
It's not 'small and 'large because 'small is the smallest POSITIVE
nonzero number in the type. (ie just above zero)
For example:
type my_type is range -50.0 .. +75.0;
What I need are attributes which will return the -50.0 and the +75.0.
If it were all my own code I would put in constants, but we are
interfacing with another code set here, ie I can't change their types.
