Obtain minimum NEGATIVE float value in C++

Question

I was looking at std::numeric_limits::min/max() but it appears \'min()\' returns the smallest absolute value, not the lowest value. Is it safe

Answer 1

use std::numeric_limits::lowest()

static _Ty __CRTDECL lowest() _THROW0()
    {   // return most negative value
    return (-(max)());
    }
