float overflow in c

What will happen if we will go beyond the range of float, double and long double data type?

Answer:

If we will assign a value which is beyond the maximum value of that data type compiler will assign +INF if number is positive and –INF if number is negative. If we will assign a value witch is less than minimum value of that data type then complier will assign a garbage value or zero. 

double data type overflow :

For example: What will be output of following c code?

#include<stdio.h>

int main(){

    float pmax= 3.5e38f;

    float nmin=-3.3e38f;

    float min= 1.0e-38f;

    printf("%f  %f  %f",pmax,nmin,min);

    return 0;

}
