Remarks
The Single and Double floating-point types in the Common Language Specification follow the IEEE-754 standard for single and double-precision floating-point numbers.
Any number representation is necessarily limited. This class provides constants that specify these limits for the CLS' floating-point types.
Many of these constants are also available in the Single and Double classes. Unfortunately, these definitions do not follow the standard conventions.
