1.80.2 Float class: characterization

denormalized

Answer whether instances of the receiver can be in denormalized form.

e

Returns the value of e. Hope is that it is precise enough

epsilon

Return the smallest Float x for which is 1 + x ~= 1

fmin

Return the smallest Float that is > 0.

fminDenormalized

Return the smallest Float that is > 0 if denormalized values are supported, else return 0.

ln10

Returns the value of ln 10. Hope is that it is precise enough

log10Base2

Returns the value of log2 10. Hope is that it is precise enough

pi

Returns the value of pi. Hope is that it is precise enough

radix

Answer the base in which computations between instances of the receiver are made. This should be 2 on about every known computer, so GNU Smalltalk always answers 2.
