- What is the difference between float and double? - Stack Overflow
As the name implies, a double has 2x the precision of float [1] In general a double has 15 decimal digits of precision, while float has 7 Here's how the number of digits are calculated: double has 52 mantissa bits + 1 hidden bit: log(2 53)÷log(10) = 15 95 digits float has 23 mantissa bits + 1 hidden bit: log(2 24)÷log(10) = 7 22 digits
- integer - What exactly is a float? - Stack Overflow
This is the reason why we call them "floating point numbers" - we allow the decimal point to "float" depending on how big the number that we want to write is Let's give an example in decimal notation Suppose that you are given 5 cells to write down a number: _ _ _ _ _ If you don't use decimal points, then you can represent numbers from 0 to
- c++ - Should I use double or float? - Stack Overflow
There are three floating point types: float, double, and long double The type double provides at least as much precision as float, and the type long double provides at least as much precision as double So, all three can be the same size in memory Presence of an FPU
- floating point - What range of numbers can be . . . - Stack Overflow
For a given IEEE-754 floating point number X, if 2^E <= abs(X) < 2^(E+1) then the distance from X to the next largest representable floating point number is:
- How to use % operator for float values in c - Stack Overflow
consider : int 32 bit and long long int of 64 bits Yes, %(modulo) operator isn't work with floats and double if you want to do the modulo operation on large number you can check long long int(64bits) might this help you
- Ranges of floating point datatype in C? - Stack Overflow
float has 24 significant binary digits - which depending on the number represented translates to 6-8 decimal digits of precision double has 53 significant binary digits, which is approximately 15 decimal digits Another answer of mine has further explanation if you're interested

- c - float vs. double precision - Stack Overflow
The reason it's called a double is because the number of bytes used to store it is double the number of a float (but this includes both the exponent and significand) The IEEE 754 standard (used by most compilers) allocates relatively more bits for the significand than the exponent (23 to 9 for float vs 52 to 12 for double ), which is why the
