Symbolic_Math_Constants(3) The following symbolic constants are available.

BUILT-IN MATH CONSTANTS

The following symbolic constants are available. Their values are of type float and are accurate within the precision of a single precision floating-point number.

Constant Name Description
MAXFLOAT Value of maximum non-infinite single-precision floating-point number.
HUGE_VALF A positive float constant expression. HUGE_VALF evaluates to +infinity. Used as an error value returned by the mathFunctions(3clc).
INFINITY A constant expression of type float representing positive or unsigned infinity.
NAN A constant expression of type float representing a quiet NaN.

If double precision is supported by the device, the following symbolic constant will also be available:

Constant Name Description
HUGE_VAL

A positive double constant expression. HUGE_VAL evaluates to +infinity. Used as an error value returned by the built-in math functions.

The following constants are also available. They are of type float and are accurate within the precision of the float type.

Constant Name Description
M_E_F Value of e
M_LOG2E_F Value of log<sub>2</sub>e
M_LOG10E_F Value of log<sub>10</sub>e
M_LN2_F Value of log<sub>e</sub>2
M_LN10_F Value of log<sub>e</sub>10
M_PI_F Value of pi
M_PI_2_F Value of pi / 2

M_2_SQRTPI_F Value of 2 / (square root of pi)
M_SQRT2_F Value of square root of 2
M_SQRT1_2_F Value of 1 / (square root of 2)

If double precision is supported by the device, the following macros and constants are also available. They are of type double and are accurate within the precision of the double type.

Constant Name Description
