50 functions return the next representable floating-point number greater than
55 is the smallest representable negative number in the corresponding type,
56 these functions return \-0.
59 is 0, the returned value is the smallest representable positive number
60 of the corresponding type.
64 is positive infinity, the returned value is positive infinity.
68 the returned value is the largest representable finite negative number
69 of the corresponding type.
74 the returned value is NaN.
80 and similarly for the other types.
