class Float

BigDecimal extends the native Float class to provide the to_d method.

When you require BigDecimal in your application, this method will be available on Float objects.

When mathn is required, Float is changed to handle Complex numbers.

Float objects represent inexact real numbers using the native architecture's double-precision floating point representation.

Floating point has a different arithmetic and is an inexact number. So you should know its esoteric system. see following:

Constants

DIG

The number of decimal digits in a double-precision floating point.

Usually defaults to 15.

EPSILON

The difference between 1 and the smallest double-precision floating point number.

Usually defaults to 2.2204460492503131e-16.

INFINITY

An expression representing positive infinity.

MANT_DIG

The number of base digits for the double data type.

Usually defaults to 53.

MAX

The largest possible integer in a double-precision floating point number.

Usually defaults to 1.7976931348623157e+308.

MAX_10_EXP

The largest positive exponent in a double-precision floating point where 10 raised to this power minus 1.

Usually defaults to 308.

MAX_EXP

The largest possible exponent value in a double-precision floating point.

Usually defaults to 1024.

MIN

The smallest positive integer in a double-precision floating point.

Usually defaults to 2.2250738585072014e-308.

MIN_10_EXP

The smallest negative exponent in a double-precision floating point where 10 raised to this power minus 1.

Usually defaults to -307.

MIN_EXP

The smallest posable exponent value in a double-precision floating point.

Usually defaults to -1021.

NAN

An expression representing a value which is “not a number”.

RADIX

The base of the floating point, or number of unique digits used to represent the number.

Usually defaults to 2 on most systems, which would represent a base-10 decimal.

ROUNDS

Represents the rounding mode for floating point addition.

Usually defaults to 1, rounding to the nearest number.

Other modes include:

-1: Indeterminable
0: Rounding towards zero
1: Rounding to the nearest number
2: Rounding towards positive infinity
3: Rounding towards negative infinity

           floor(binexp/4) <= exp <= ceil(binexp/3)
