## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```javascript

#### FLOAT64_PRECISION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Effective number of bits in the [significand][significand] of a [double-precision floating-point number][ieee754].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```javascript
|
||
|
|
var bool = ( FLOAT64_PRECISION === 53 ); // including implicit bit
|
||
|
|
// returns true
|
||
|
|
```
