epsilon java,Java双epsilon

I'm currently in the need of an epsilon of type double (preferred are constants in java's libraries instead of own implementations/definitions)

As far as I can see Double has MIN_VALUE and MAX_VALUE as static members.

Why there is no EPSILON?

What would a epsilon be?

Are there any differences to a std::numeric_limits< double >::epsilon()?

Epsilon: The difference between 1 and the smallest value greater than 1 that is representable for the data type.

I'm presuming you mean epsilon in the sense of the error in the value. I.e this.

If so then in Java it's referred to as ULP (unit in last place). You can find it by using the java.lang.Math package and the Math.ulp() method. See javadocs here.

The value isn't stored as a static member because it will be different depending on the double you are concerned with.

EDIT: By the OP's definition of epsilon now in the question, the ULP of a double of value 1.0 is 2.220446049250313E-16 expressed as a double. (I.e. the return value of Math.ulp(1.0).)
