Real48 Type

Syntax

type Real48;

Description

The Real48 type exists for backward compatibility with Turbo Pascal. It defines a 6-byte floating-point type. Real48 values must be converted to Extended before using them in any computations, so they are slower than using Double or Extended.

The Real48 type has an 8-bit exponent and a 39-bit normalized mantissa. It cannot store denormalized values, infinity, or not-a-number. If the exponent is zero, the number is zero.
