nag_machine_real_safe (x02am) returns the safe range of floating-point arithmetic.

[result] = x02am

[result] = nag_machine_real_safe

nag_machine_real_safe (x02am) is defined to be the smallest positive model number

z

such that for any

x

in the range [

z, 1 / z

] the following can be computed without undue loss of accuracy, overflow, underflow or other error:

None.

None.

None.

None.

None.

None.

See Example in nag_machine_precision (x02aj).

Open in the MATLAB editor: x02am_example

function x02am_example


fprintf('x02am example results\n\n');

fprintf('the real safe range parameter = %22.15e\n', ...
        x02am);

x02am example results

the real safe range parameter = 2.225073858507202e-308
