What's a float

Isn't a float a massive number with a decimal? if it's not a long number, then why did they make a double?

double: 64 bit - default choice for decimals float: 32 bit - less precision, use it only if you need to save memory space. See https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/datatypes.html
