Smallest addressable unit of the machine that can


contain basic character set. It is an integer type. Actual [CHAR_MIN,
char type can be either signed or unsigned. It contains 8 %c —
CHAR_MAX]

[SCHAR_MIN,
signed char signed. Capable of containing at least the [−127, +127] 8 %c[b] —

Converting
Real floating-point type, usually referred to as a single- from
precision floating-point type. Actual properties
unspecified (except minimum limits); however, on most text:[d]
float systems, this is the IEEE 754 single-precision binary %f %F f or F
floating-point format (32 bits). This format is required %g %G
by the optional Annex F "IEC 60559 floating-point %e %E
arithmetic".
%a %A

Real floating-point type, usually referred to as a


double-precision floating-point type. Actual properties %lf %lF
unspecified (except minimum limits); however, on most %lg %lG
double systems, this is the IEEE 754 double-precision binary none
%le %lE
floating-point format (64 bits). This format is required
[e]
by the optional Annex F "IEC 60559 floating-point %la %lA
arithmetic".

Real floating-point type, usually mapped to an


extended precision floating-point number format.
Actual properties unspecified. It can be either x86 %Lf %LF
extended-precision floating-point format (80 bits, but %Lg %LG
long double typically 96 bits or 128 bits in memory with padding %Le %LE l or L
bytes), the non-IEEE "double-double" (128 bits), IEEE
754 quadruple-precision floating-point format (128 %La %LA[e]
bits), or the same as double. See the article on long
double for details.

a. The minimal ranges [−(2n−1−1), 2n−1−1] (e.g. [−127,127]) come from the various integer representations allowed by
the standard (ones' complement, sign-magnitude, two's complement).[4] However, most platforms use two's
complement, implying a range of the form [−2m−1, 2m−1−1] with m ≥ n for these implementations, e.g. [−128,127]
