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.
