Floating Point Objects

PyFloatObject

This subtype of PyObject represents a Python floating point object.

PyTypeObject PyFloat_Type

This instance of PyTypeObject represents the Python floating point type. This is the same object as float in the Python layer.

int PyFloat_Check(PyObject *p)

Return true if its argument is a PyFloatObject or a subtype of PyFloatObject. This function always succeeds.

int PyFloat_CheckExact(PyObject *p)

Return true if its argument is a PyFloatObject, but not a subtype of PyFloatObject. This function always succeeds.

PyObject* PyFloat_FromString(PyObject *str)
Return value: New reference.

Create a PyFloatObject object based on the string value in str, or NULL on failure.

PyObject* PyFloat_FromDouble(double v)
Return value: New reference.

Create a PyFloatObject object from v, or NULL on failure.

double PyFloat_AsDouble(PyObject *pyfloat)

Return a C double representation of the contents of pyfloat. If pyfloat is not a Python floating point object but has a __float__() method, this method will first be called to convert pyfloat into a float. If __float__() is not defined then it falls back to __index__(). This method returns -1.0 upon failure, so one should call PyErr_Occurred() to check for errors.

Zmienione w wersji 3.8: Use __index__() if available.

double PyFloat_AS_DOUBLE(PyObject *pyfloat)

Return a C double representation of the contents of pyfloat, but without error checking.

PyObject* PyFloat_GetInfo(void)
Return value: New reference.

Return a structseq instance which contains information about the precision, minimum and maximum values of a float. It’s a thin wrapper around the header file float.h.

double PyFloat_GetMax()

Return the maximum representable finite float DBL_MAX as C double.

double PyFloat_GetMin()

Return the minimum normalized positive float DBL_MIN as C double.
