What does the suffix #DEN mean on the value of a variable

When debugging in VS2005 I have a float in the Locals window whose values is: 1.744e-039#DEN

What does the #DEN signify/stand for?


Solution 1:

This is for "denormalized number". See this for more info.

Solution 2:

Denormalized; too small (close to zero) to be represented as a number in the form 1.M * 2^E

Solution 3:

Denormal - too close to zero - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denormal
