static const int min_exponent10		(until C++11)
static constexpr int min_exponent10		(since C++11)

The value of std::numeric_limits<T>::min_exponent10 is the lowest negative number n such that 10n
is a valid normalized value of the floating-point type T.

Example

Demonstrates the relationships of min_exponent, min_exponent10, min, and radix for the type float:

#include <iostream>
int main()
{
    std::cout << "min() = " << std::numeric_limits<float>::min() << '\n'
              << "min_exponent10 = " << std::numeric_limits<float>::min_exponent10 << '\n'
              << std::hexfloat
              << "min() = " << std::numeric_limits<float>::min() << '\n'
              << "min_exponent = " << std::numeric_limits<float>::min_exponent << '\n';
}

Output:

min() = 1.17549e-38
min_exponent10 = -37
min() = 0x1p-126
min_exponent = -125
