Description
System.Double is a 64-bit double precision floating-point type that represents values ranging from approximately 5.0E–324 to 1.7E+308 and from approximately –5.0E–324 to–1.7E+308 with a precision of 15–16 decimal digits. The System.Double type conforms to standard IEC 60559:1989, Binary Floating-point Arithmetic for Microprocessor Systems.
A System.Double can represent the following values:
The finite set of non-zero values of the form s * m * 2e, where s is 1 or –1, and 0 < m < 253 and –1075 <= e <= 970.
Positive infinity and negative infinity. Infinities are produced by operations that produce results with a magnitude greater than that which can be represented by a System.Double, such as dividing a non-zero number by zero. For example, ...
