- The MMIINNEEXXPPOONNEENNTT intrinsic function returns the minimum (most negative)
- exponent of a real number in the numeric model representing numbers of
- the same type and kind type parameter as the argument. The real
- number model is defined in the MMOODDEELLSS(3I) man page. It accepts the
- following argument:
-
- _x Must be of type real. It can be scalar or array valued.
-
- MMIINNEEXXPPOONNEENNTT is an inquiry function. The name of this intrinsic cannot
- be passed as an argument.
-
- RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEESS
- The result is a default integer scalar. The result has the value _e
- min
- as defined in the model, which represents numbers of the same type and
- kind type parameter as _x.
