This chapter groups a wide variety of mathematical functions. The corresponding definitions and declarations are in math.h. The definition of HUGE_VAL from math.h is of particular interest.
double is defined as
HUGE_VAL; this number is returned on overflow by many functions.
The macro HUGE_VALF is a corresponding value for float.
Alternative declarations of the mathematical functions, which exploit specific machine capabilities to operate faster—but generally have less error checking and may reflect additional limitations on some machines—are available when you include fastmath.h instead of math.h.
