What gives... MAXIMA>>>most-positive-single-float 1.7976931348623158E307 MAXIMA>>>most-positive-double-float 1.7976931348623157E308 MAXIMA>>>single-float-epsilon 1.1107651257113995E-16 MAXIMA>>>double-float-epsilon 1.1107651257113995E-16 MAXIMA>>> So there is no difference between single and double precision in GCL, but the largest double is 10X larger than the maximum single??
