What is the largest double available on yourmachine? What happens when you go be

Question

What is the largest double available on yourmachine? What happens when you go beyond this value? Experiment byrunning the following program:

     # include <stdio.h>
#include <float.h>

int main(void)
{
     double x = 1.0, y = -1.0, z =0.0;

     printf("The largest double: %.3e ",DBL_MAX);
     printf(" Add a little bit:%.3e ", DBL_MAX+ 1.0) ;
    printf("         Add alot: %.3e ",
            DBL_MAX + DBL_MAX);
     printf(" Divisionby zero: %.3e %.3e ",
           x / z, y / z);
   return 0;
}

Modify the program so that it alsoprints out the largest floatavailable on your machine. Is it a lotsmaller than the largest double?Hint: read the header file float.h on yoursystem.

Explanation / Answer

//Hope this will help you.. Ouput of the above program will be : /* The largest double: 1.798e+308 Add a little bit: 1.798e+308          Add a lot: inf Division by zero: inf -inf */ So the maximum value of double in my machine is 1.798e+308 This value may be different for different machine. /* For float value The float : 3.403e+38 Add a little bit: 3.403e+38          Add a lot: inf Division by zero: inf -inf */ So the maximum value of float is 3.403e+38
