math.h in C

Header files named math.h in Library C define diverse math functions and a macro. All functions available in this library receive double as a parameter and return the result in type double.

Macros are defined in math.h

There is only one Macro defined in this library:

HUGE_VAL: This macro is used when the result of a function cannot be represented as a floating-point number. If the size to correctly represent the result is too large, the errno set function to ERANGE to indicate a Range Error, and return a value large enough, specifically named by HUGE_VAL or its counter - HUGE_VAL .

If the size of the result is too small, a value of 0 is returned. In this case, errno may or may not be set to ERANGE.
