Matlab provides the realmax
function that returns the largest positive number that can be represented in double-precision floating-point format. This number is often denoted by m∞
.
To calculate m∞
, you can simply call the realmax
function:
main.m30 chars3 lines
The output will be the value of m∞
. Note that this value is system-dependent and may vary depending on the hardware and software implementation of floating-point arithmetic.
It's important to note that the realmax
function returns the largest positive finite value, not infinity. For example, on most systems, realmax
returns 1.7977e+308
, which is the largest positive number that can be represented in double-precision floating-point format. Any calculation that exceeds this value results in an overflow error.
