denormalized number
A computational floating-point result smaller than the lowest value
in the normal range of a data type (the smallest representable
normalized number) that gradually underflows and loses precision
until it reaches the smallest representable subnormal value (.GT.
or .EQ. 0) for that data type. You cannot write a constant for a
denormalized number.
