Title says everything: What is the minimum/maximum value of the WC3 variabletype "real"?
I thought it would be something like "0xffffffff" but I'm definetly not sure...
Any sources for you answers would be nice :)

Its ranging from -(2^24)*(2^127) to +(2^24)*(2^127), unless i misunderstood something.
I did. New result: (2^-23 (2^23 - 1) + 1) 2^127 as maximum. Multiply by -1 for minimum.

Note: this applies to standard floating point variables of 32 bit length. Please understand that Blizzard fucked up their reals. I am not quite sure if all this applies to Blizzards reals as well.
