+ Attributes
+ ----------
+ ibeta : int
+ Radix in which numbers are represented.
+ it : int
+ Number of base-`ibeta` digits in the floating point mantissa M.
+ machep : int
+ Exponent of the smallest (most negative) power of `ibeta` that,
+ added to 1.0, gives something different from 1.0
+ eps : float
+ Floating-point number ``beta**machep`` (floating point precision)
+ negep : int
+ Exponent of the smallest power of `ibeta` that, substracted
+ from 1.0, gives something different from 1.0.
+ epsneg : float
+ Floating-point number ``beta**negep``.
+ iexp : int
+ Number of bits in the exponent (including its sign and bias).
+ minexp : int
+ Smallest (most negative) power of `ibeta` consistent with there
+ being no leading zeros in the mantissa.
+ xmin : float
+ Floating point number ``beta**minexp`` (the smallest [in
+ magnitude] usable floating value).
+ maxexp : int
+ Smallest (positive) power of `ibeta` that causes overflow.
+ xmax : float
+ ``(1-epsneg) * beta**maxexp`` (the largest [in magnitude]
+ usable floating value).
+ irnd : int
+ In ``range(6)``, information on what kind of rounding is done
+ in addition, and on how underflow is handled.
+ ngrd : int
+ Number of 'guard digits' used when truncating the product
+ of two mantissas to fit the representation.
+
+ epsilon : float
+ Same as `eps`.
+ tiny : float
+ Same as `xmin`.
+ huge : float
+ Same as `xmax`.
+ precision : float
+ ``- int(-log10(eps))``
+ resolution : float
+ `` - 10**(-precision)``
