Type Property

significandBitCount

The available number of fractional significand bits.

Declaration

static var significandBitCount: Int { get }

Discussion

For fixed-width floating-point types, this is the actual number of fractional significand bits.

For extensible floating-point types, significandBitCount should be the maximum allowed significand width (without counting any leading integral bit of the significand). If there is no upper limit, then significandBitCount should be Int.max.
