Floating-Point Range of Values...

Hi Everyone,

I understand java's Floating-Point data type consists of float (32-bits)
and double (64-bits).  If I want to find out the range of a type, for
example, byte which has a maximum value of 127, all I have to do is as
follows:

byte bValue = 127;

System.out.println("Min of Byte: "+ ++bValue);

The output gives me:

Min of Byte:-128

So, how do I do that with floating-point?  If I do ezactly like the byte
data type, I don't see the min value.  I know the min and max value of
float, but how do I prove it in the code?

Thanks in advance,
Rusli
