Retrieve the maximum base-2 exponent for a subnormal double-precision floating-point number

This feature allows you to retrieve the constant value representing the maximum base-2 exponent for a subnormal double-precision floating-point number, which is -1023. This is useful for understanding the range and limitations of subnormal numbers in floating-point arithmetic.

const MAX_BASE2_EXPONENT_SUBNORMAL = require('@stdlib/constants-float64-max-base2-exponent-subnormal');
console.log(MAX_BASE2_EXPONENT_SUBNORMAL); // Output: -1023

mathjs

Math.js is an extensive math library for JavaScript and Node.js. While it does not specifically provide constants for floating-point exponents, it offers a wide range of mathematical constants and functions that can be used for numerical computations. Compared to @stdlib/constants-float64-max-base2-exponent-subnormal, Math.js is more general-purpose and covers a broader range of mathematical operations.

big.js

Big.js is a library for arbitrary-precision decimal arithmetic. It does not provide specific constants for floating-point exponents but allows for high-precision calculations that can avoid some of the pitfalls of floating-point arithmetic. Compared to @stdlib/constants-float64-max-base2-exponent-subnormal, Big.js focuses on precision and accuracy in arithmetic operations rather than providing specific constants.

decimal.js

Decimal.js is another library for arbitrary-precision decimal arithmetic. Similar to Big.js, it does not offer specific floating-point exponent constants but provides tools for precise arithmetic operations. It is useful for applications requiring high precision and accuracy, making it different from the more specialized @stdlib/constants-float64-max-base2-exponent-subnormal.

About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!
