DBL_MAX_10_EXP Macro

Maximum integer value for a double precision floating-point exponent in base 10.

Include

<float.h>

Value

The value 38 by default, 308 if the switch -fno-short-double is used.

Remarks

By default, a double type is the same size as a float type (32-bit representation). The -fno-short-double switch allows the IEEE 64-bit representation to be used for a double precision floating-point value.
