The value of std::numeric_limits <T> :: digits is the number of digits in base-radix that can be represented by the type T without change. For integer types, this is the number of bits not counting the sign bit and the padding bits (if any). For floating-point types, this is the digits of the mantissa (for IEC 559/IEEE 754
