f64.rs

//! This module provides constants which are specific to the implementation
//! of the `f64` floating point data type.
//!
//! *[See also the `f64` primitive type](../../std/primitive.f64.html).*
//!
//! Mathematically significant numbers are provided in the `consts` sub-module.
//!
//! Although using these constants won’t cause compilation warnings,
//! new code should use the associated constants directly on the primitive type.
