System.Double Structure |
|
|
Description | |
|
The Double structure holds floating point numbers in the range +/-1.79769313486232e308, plus the following extreme values :
PositiveInfinity | Infinity (N/0) |
NegativeInfinity | -Infinity (-N/0) |
NaN | Not a number (0/0) |
Double complies with IEEE standards for calculations.
Unlike the Decimal structure, rounding can occur with Double value calculations.
Double structures are created dynamically from their definition - there is no Create constructor. The native delphi Double type maps to System.Double.
