Single.MaxValue Field

public: float MaxValue = 3.40282347E+38;

public const float MaxValue = 3.40282347E+38;

val mutable MaxValue : single

Public Const MaxValue As Single = 3.40282347E+38

Field Value

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the MaxValue constant.

if (s > Single.MaxValue)
{
 Console.WriteLine("Your number is larger than a Single.");
}

if s > Single.MaxValue then
 printfn "Your number is larger than a Single."

If S > Single.MaxValue Then
 Console.WriteLine("Your number is larger than a Single.")
End If

Remarks

The value of this constant is positive 3.40282347E+38.

The result of an operation that exceeds Single.MaxValue is Single.PositiveInfinity. In the following example, Single.PositiveInfinity results from addition, multiplication, and exponentiation operations when the result exceeds Single.MaxValue.

using System;

public class Example
{
 public static void Main()
 {
 float result1 = 1.867e38f + 2.385e38f;
 Console.WriteLine("{0} (Positive Infinity: {1})", 
 result1, Single.IsPositiveInfinity(result1));
 
 float result2 = 1.5935e25f * 7.948e20f;
 Console.WriteLine("{0} (Positive Infinity: {1})", 
 result2, Single.IsPositiveInfinity(result2));
 }
}
// The example displays the following output:
// Infinity (Positive Infinity: True)
// Infinity (Positive Infinity: True)

open System

let result1 = 1.867e38f + 2.385e38f
printfn $"{result1} (Positive Infinity: {Single.IsPositiveInfinity result1})" 
 
let result2 = 1.5935e25f * 7.948e20f
printfn $"{result2} (Positive Infinity: {Single.IsPositiveInfinity result2})" 
// The example displays the following output:
// Infinity (Positive Infinity: True)
// Infinity (Positive Infinity: True)

Module Example
 Public Sub Main()
 Dim result1 As Single = 1.867e38 + 2.385e38
 Console.WriteLine("{0} (Positive Infinity: {1})", 
 result1, Single.IsPositiveInfinity(result1))
 
 Dim result2 As Single = 1.5935e25 * 7.948e20
 Console.WriteLine("{0} (Positive Infinity: {1})", 
 result2, Single.IsPositiveInfinity(result2))
 End Sub
End Module
' The example displays the following output:
' Infinity (Positive Infinity: True)
' Infinity (Positive Infinity: True)
