std::numeri...max_exponent(3)  C++ Standard Libary std::numeri...max_exponent(3)

NAME
     std::numeric_limits::max_exponent - std::numeric_limits::max_exponent

Synopsis
	static const int max_exponent;	    (until C++11)
	static constexpr int max_exponent;  (since C++11)

	The  value  of std::numeric_limits<T>::max_exponent is the largest posi-
     tive number n
	such that \(\scriptsize r^{n-1}\)rn-1
	, where r is std::numeric_limits<T>::radix, is	a  representable  finite
     value of the
	floating-point type T.

Standard specializations
	T				      value	of     std::numeric_lim-
     its<T>::max_exponent
	/* non-specialized */		 0
	bool				 0
	char				 0
	signed char			 0
	unsigned char			 0
	wchar_t 			 0
	char8_t (since C++20)		 0
	char16_t (since C++11)		 0
	char32_t (since C++11)		 0
	short				 0
	unsigned short			 0
	int				 0
	unsigned int			 0
	long				 0
	unsigned long			 0
	long long (since C++11) 	 0
	unsigned long long (since C++11) 0
	float				 FLT_MAX_EXP
	double				 DBL_MAX_EXP
	long double			 LDBL_MAX_EXP

Example
	Demonstrates the  relationships  of  max_exponent,  max_exponent10,  and
     max() for the
	type float:

     // Run this code

      #include <iostream>
      #include <limits>

      int main()
      {
	  std::cout << "max() = " << std::numeric_limits<float>::max() << '\n'
		    <<	   "max_exponent10     =    "	 <<    std::numeric_lim-
     its<float>::max_exponent10 << '\n'
		    << std::hexfloat << '\n'
		    << "max() = " << std::numeric_limits<float>::max() << '\n'
		    << "max_exponent = " <<  std::numeric_limits<float>::max_ex-
     ponent << '\n';
      }

Output:
      max() = 3.40282e+38
      max_exponent10 = 38

      max() = 0x1.fffffep+127
      max_exponent = 128
