var m = realmax( 'float64' );
// returns 1.7976931348623157e+308

The following numeric real types are supported:

• float64: double-precision floating-point numbers
• float32: single-precision floating-point numbers
• float16: half-precision floating-point numbers

Examples

var realmax = require( '@stdlib/utils/real-max' );

var m = realmax( 'float64' );
// returns 1.7976931348623157e+308

m = realmax( 'float32' );
// returns 3.4028234663852886e+38

m = realmax( 'float16' );
// returns 65504.0
