numeric_limits::min
Returns the minimum normalized value for a type.
static Type min( ) throw( );
Return Value
The minimum normalized value for the type.
Remarks
The minimum normalized value is INT_MIN for type int and FLT_MIN for type float. The return value is meaningful if is_bounded is true or if is_signed is false.
Example
// numeric_limits_min.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <iostream>
#include <limits>
using namespace std;
int main( )
{
cout << "The minimum value for type float is: "
<< numeric_limits<float>::min( )
<< endl;
cout << "The minimum value for type double is: "
<< numeric_limits<double>::min( )
<< endl;
cout << "The minimum value for type int is: "
<< numeric_limits<int>::min( )
<< endl;
cout << "The minimum value for type short int is: "
<< numeric_limits<short int>::min( )
<< endl;
}
The minimum value for type float is: 1.17549e-038 The minimum value for type double is: 2.22507e-308 The minimum value for type int is: -2147483648 The minimum value for type short int is: -32768
