双精度值:

 All R platforms are required to work with values conforming tothe
 IEC 60559 (also known as IEEE 754) standard.  This basically works
 with a precision of 53 bits, and represents to that precision a
 range of absolute values from about 2e-308 to 2e+308.  It also has
 special values ‘NaN’ (many of them), plus and minus infinity and
 plus and minus zero (although R acts as if these are the same).
 There are also _denormal(ized)_ (or _subnormal_) numbers with
 absolute values above or below the range given above but
 represented to less precision.

 See ‘.Machine’ for precise information on these limits.  Note that
 ultimately how double precision numbers are handled is down to the
 CPU/FPU and compiler.

$double.xmax
