Members of the numeric_limits Class
Illustrates how to use the members of the numeric_limits class in Visual C++.
To reference one of the members of this class, you need to specify the type that you want to obtain information about and the member name. The return will either be a value of 1 for true or 0 for false. For example, numeric_limits<int>::min will return the minimum value for an int.
Hinweis
Some of the members are valid only for certain types. Please refer to the Online Help to determine if a member is valid only for a certain type.
