-- | Approximate and exact limits around 0 and towards transfinite numbers.

module Numeric.Limits where



-- | The class of limits into the transfinite.

class NumericLimits x where
  -- "A" minimal finite number that can still be worked with. (And should not
  -- trip the CPU transfinite number handling)
  minFinite ∷ x
  -- "A" maximal finite number.
  maxFinite ∷ x

-- | The smallest value @/= 0@ for numeric values.

class NumericEpsilon x where
  -- | Numeric epsilon.
