What is the lower limit of floating point values?
There are two answers – Normalized (N) vs Denormalized (DN)
single (32-bit)
N: -3.4E+38 to +3.4E+38
DN: ±1.5e-45 to ± 3.4e38
double (64-bit)
N: -1.7E+308 to +1.7E+308
DN: ±5.0e-324 to ± 1.7e308

Oh noooo, now you reminded me of my work with signally and non-signally NaN’s, argh!?
😉
Stay far away from denormalized numbers, they’re a pain.
