TINY(X)

Purpose

Returns the smallest positive number in the model representing numbers of the same type and kind type parameter as the argument.

Class

Inquiry function

Argument type and attributes

X

must be of type real. It may be a scalar or an array.

Result type and attributes

Scalar with the same type and kind type parameter as X.

Result value

The result is:

2.0(MINEXPONENT(X)-1) for real X 

TINY (X) = float(2)^(-126) = 1.17549351e-38. See Real data model.
