< cpp‎ | header

This header is part of the type support library.

### Declarations

numeric_limits | provides an interface to query properties of all fundamental numeric types. (class template)
float_round_style | indicates floating-point rounding modes (enum)
float_denorm_style | indicates floating-point denormalization modes (enum)
