Floating-Point Types : float Point Number « Data Type « C# / CSharp Tutorial

The floating-point types represent numbers with fractional components.

There are two kinds of floating-point types:

1. float,which represent single-precision numbers
2. double, which represent double-precision numbers
3. The type float is 32 bits wide and has a range of 1.5E-45 to 3.4E+38.
4. The double type is 64 bits wide and has a range of 5E-324 to 1.7E+308.

There are two floating-point structures: Double and Single.

1. Single represents float.
2. Double represents double.

The floating-point structures implement the following interfaces:

1. IComparable,
2. IConvertible, and
3. Iformattable.
