C# 2008 Floating Point Variable Types

C# distinguishes real numbers, which come in two styles: floating point and decimal. Floating point is the most common and floating-point variables are assigned. This chart describes the two floating-point variables in C#:

Type	Size (bytes)	Range	Accuracy	In Use
float	8	1.5 * 10-45 to 3.4 * 1038	6-7 digits	float f = 1.2F;
double	16	5.0 * 10-324 to 1.7*10308	15-16 digits	double d = 1.2;
