NAME

std::numeric_limits::radix - std::numeric_limits::radix

Synopsis

static const int radix; (until C++11)
static constexpr int radix; (since C++11)

The value of std::numeric_limits<T>::radix is the base of the number system used in
the representation of the type. It is 2 for all binary numeric types, but it may be,
for example, 10 for IEEE 754 decimal floating-point types or for third-party
binary-coded decimal integers. This constant is meaningful for all specializations.
