The object representation for floating-point values is implementation defined. However, an implementation which defines the __STDC_IEC_559__ macro shall conform to the IEC 60559 floating-point standard, and uses what is frequently referred to as IEEE 754 floating-point arithmetic [ISO/IEC 9899:2011]. The floating-point object representation used by IEC 60559 is one of the most common floating-point object representations in use today.
