→Use expressions involving other 'normal' floating point values

Line 15:
:::Finally, I agree that NaN, infinity etc are definitely values of a floating-point type. E.g. NaN is a value of double in C++. But there is a difference between the semantics (mathematical meaning of NaN) and the types system (bit patterns considered valid representations for some type, they can be any). --[[User:Dmitry-kazakov|Dmitry-kazakov]] 19:23, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
==Use expressions involving other 'normal' floating point values==
Several examples forget to show this part of the task and instead just use predefined language constants. Whilst that is a good thing to show and should remain part of any expanded answer, the task specifically asks that you "use expressions involving other 'normal' floating point values" to calculate them.
I have marked the first, Perl 6, as incomplete and will do others as time permits. (Unless what I propose is not wise ). --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 07:11, 3 October 2015 (UTC)
