The set of values of the type float is a subset of the set of values of the type double; the set of values of the type double is a subset of the set of values of the type long double. The C++ standard adds:
- How do I print a double value with full precision using cout?A double is a floating point type, not fixed point. Do not use std::fixed as that fails to print small double as anything but 0.000...000. For large double, it prints many digits, perhaps hundreds of questionable informativeness.
- Difference between decimal, float and double in .NET?Double: It is also a floating binary point type variable with double precision and 64 bits size(15-17 significant figures). Double are probably the most generally used data type for real values, except for financial applications and places where high accuracy is desired. Decimal: It is a floating decimal point type variable.
- How to use the PI constant in C++ - Stack OverflowT will be float, double or long double. So, just type in the precision of long double, i.e. template
T const pi = static_cast (/* long double precision π */); But do you really know that there won't be a new floating point type in the standard in the future with an even higher precision than long double? You don't. - What is the inclusive range of float and double in Java?double: The double data type is a double-precision 64-bit IEEE 754 floating point. Its range of values is beyond the scope of this discussion, but is specified in section 4.2.3 of the Java Language Specification. For decimal values, this data type is generally the default choice.
