std::numeric_limits::radix(3)

💅 std::numeric_limits::radix 💅

okay so this is the std::numeric_limits::radix(3) page from the C++ Standard Libary manual, and we are absolutely getting into it. 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

std::numeric_limits::radix — literally std::numeric_limits::radix, no notes 💅

🦋 Synopsis 🦋

the synopsis tea is:

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

the value of std::numeric_limits<T>::radix is the base of the number system used in the representation of the type. it is 2 for all binary numeric types, but it may be, for example, 10 for IEEE 754 decimal floating-point types or for third-party binary-coded decimal integers. this constant is meaningful for all specializations. periodt. ✨

🎀 Standard specializations 🎀

here’s the T → value of std::numeric_limits<T>::radix mapping, every single row, no skips:

• /* non-specialized */ — 0
• bool — 2
• char — 2
• signed char — 2
• unsigned char — 2
• wchar_t — 2
• char8_t (since C++20) — 2
• char16_t (since C++11) — 2
• char32_t (since C++11) — 2
• short — 2
• unsigned short — 2
• int — 2
• unsigned int — 2
• long — 2
• unsigned long — 2
• long long (since C++11) — 2
• unsigned long long (since C++11) — 2
• float — FLT_RADIX
• double — FLT_RADIX
• long double — FLT_RADIX
