Limitations
DOUBLE value ranges:
- Smallest DOUBLE value: -1.79769E+308
- Largest DOUBLE value: 1.79769E+308
- Smallest positive DOUBLE value: 2.225E-307
- Largest negative DOUBLE value: -2.225E-307
These limits are different from the java.lang.DoubleJava
type limits.
An exception is thrown when any double value is calculated
or entered that is outside of these value ranges. Arithmetic operations do
not round their resulting values to zero. If the values are too small,
you will receive an exception.
Numeric floating point constants are
limited to a length of 30 characters.
-- this example will fail because the constant is too long:
values 01234567890123456789012345678901e0;
