It is number with double precision(float * 2) Because of computers nature they can't store values with 100% precision so double just increase it

when you declare a variable the computer needs to know how much memory it can assign to it. Double, Tuple and other forms just tell the computer to use only a certain amount based on how big the (typically) number will be.
