Example

// numeric_limits_digits_min.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <iostream>
#include <limits>

using namespace std;

int main( )
{
   cout << numeric_limits<float>::digits <<endl;
   cout << numeric_limits<double>::digits <<endl;
   cout << numeric_limits<long double>::digits <<endl;
   cout << numeric_limits<int>::digits <<endl;
   cout << numeric_limits<__int64>::digits <<endl;
