CalcMachineEpsilon

Prototype

Matrix CalcMachineEpsilon()

Return Value

The return value is the computer’s machine epsilon: the smallest floating-point number that the computer can add to one and still obtain a sum greater than one.

Parameters

None

Remarks

Machine epsilon is used to estimate the accuracy and stability of numerical algorithms.

Example

machEps = CalcMachineEpsilon();
print machEps;
