That would be "the smallest real number larger than 3". Which does not
exist.
 
Infinitesimals (no matter how you want to define them) are not going
to help you. That number still does not exist, even if you add
infinitesimals to your number system. It doesn't matter how you try
to twist it, it's not going to work. You are not going to make that
number exist. Not with infinitesimals, not with anything.
 
The set of real numbers is genuinely larger than the set of natural
numbers because there is no bijection between the two sets. (This
is in contrast with, for example, the set of rational numbers, or
the set of algebraic numbers, which are equally large as the set of
natural numbers because there is a bijection between them.)

The C standard only requires EDOM, EILSEQ, and ERANGE, but C
implementations can, and commonly do, define additional macros.
 
Both C and POSIX specifically permit additional E* macros to
be defined. I don't see such a permission in the C++ standard,
though I could be missing it.
 
(I'm a little surprised C++ mandates the POSIX error codes, given
that C++ can be implemented on non-POSIX systems.)

If you can't explain it in your own words, fine. I've no interest
in watching some random video.

But you do have interest in commenting on it just to be mean to Brian?
Have you ever considered what you're actually doing with your life,
Scott? This really is your footprint on the world. You really are
hurting people and being mean to them.
 
So, you have no interest in learning and growing and sharing in someone
like Brian's life, but you do automatically have much interest in being
mean to him, and writing things that hurt and harm people on the inside?
(based on a sampling of your many posts this is a sane conclusion)
 
It's no way to be. And it speaks volumes of the view of self you possess.
 
You are better than you think you are, Scott. You don't need to be mean
to people to make yourself feel better. You don't need to drag people
down and put them under your heel to have worth and value in this world.
You are valuable in your own person, by your own abilities. You can be
nice and helpful to people and make yourself feel better.
 
You should try it sometime.
