Name
Real48 Type
Syntax
type Real48;
Description
The Real48 type exists for backward compatibility
with Turbo Pascal. It defines a 6-byte floating-point type.
Real48 values must be converted to
Extended before using them in any computations, so
they are slower than using Double or
Extended.
The Real48 type has an 8-bit exponent and a 39-bit normalized mantissa. It cannot store denormalized values, infinity, or not-a-number. If the exponent is zero, the number is zero.
