std::numeric_limits<T>::digits – std::numeric_limits<T>::digits

Synopsis

static const int digits;
(until C++ 11)

    static constexpr int digits;
(since C++ 11)

The value of std::numeric_limits<T>::digits is the number of digits in base-radix that can be represented by the type T without change. For integer types, this is the number of bits not counting the sign bit and the padding bits (if any). For floating-point types, this is the number of digits in the mantissa.
