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.

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 minimum number of significant 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 greater than 1.

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 normalized number in a double-precision floating point.

Usually defaults to 2.2250738585072014e-308.

If the platform supports denormalized numbers, there are numbers between zero and Float::MIN. 0.0.next_float returns the smallest positive floating point number including denormalized numbers.

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
