Quantlet: floatinf
Description: provides information about real numbers within the interval [.5,0) in the form of x=a*10^b, b is bounded by -20

Usage: {a,b} = floatinf(x)
Input:
x (1x1) real value
Output:
a (1x1) real value, element of the interval [+inf,.5)
b (1x1) integer, power of 10

Example:

library("multi")

{a,b}=floatinf(.00123)

a

b 

Result:

Contents of a

[1,]     1.23

Contents of b

[1,]       -3 

Example:

library("multi")

{a,b}=floatinf(1.23*10^(-23))

a

b 

Result:

Contents of a

[1,]     0.0123

Contents of b

[1,]        -21
