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 positive number n such that 2n-1
is a representable finite value of the floating-point type T.

Example
Demonstrates the relationships of max_exponent, max_exponent10, and max() for the type float:
#include <iostream>
#include <limits>
int main()
{
std::cout << "max() = " << std::numeric_limits<float>::max() << '\n'
<< "max_exponent10 = " << std::numeric_limits<float>::max_exponent10 << '\n'
<< std::hexfloat
<< "max() = " << std::numeric_limits<float>::max() << '\n'
<< "max_exponent = " << std::numeric_limits<float>::max_exponent << '\n';
}Output:
max() = 3.40282e+38 max_exponent10 = 38 max() = 0x1.fffffep+127 max_exponent = 128
