NAME
       float_t, double_t - most efficient floating types

LIBRARY
       Math library (libm)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <math.h>

       typedef /* ... */ float_t;
       typedef /* ... */ double_t;

DESCRIPTION
       The implementation's most efficient floating types at least as wide as float and double respectively.  Their type depends on
       the value of the macro FLT_EVAL_METHOD (defined in <float.h>):

       FLT_EVAL_METHOD       float_t      double_t
       ────────────────────────────────────────────
              0                float        double
              1               double        double
              2          long double   long double

       For other values of FLT_EVAL_METHOD, the types of float_t and double_t are implementation-defined.

STANDARDS
       C99 and later; POSIX.1-2001 and later.
