Typedef IlcFloat

This type represents floating-point numbers handled by Solver floating-point variables. This type corresponds to the type double. By using this type, you can be sure that the Solver components of your application will port without any source change in this respect across different hardware platforms.

IEEE 754 is a standard proposed by the Institute of Electronic and Electrical Engineers for computing floating-point arithmetic. The implementation of floating-point numbers in Solver conforms to this standard. See the IBM ILOG Solver User's Manual for a discussion of floating-point arithmetic.
