// returns 2.2250738585072014e-308

The following numeric real types are supported:

• float64: double-precision floating-point numbers
• float32: single-precision floating-point numbers
• float16: half-precision floating-point numbers

var realmin = require( '@stdlib/utils/real-min' );

var m = realmin( 'float64' );
// returns 2.2250738585072014e-308

m = realmin( 'float32' );
// returns 1.1754943508222875e-38

m = realmin( 'float16' );
// returns 0.00006103515625
