Question

Can anyone explain?

Answer 1

• Schildt, H. (2003). C++: Complete Reference. 4th ed. New York: McGraw-Hill. Ch. 2.

The range of 'float' and 'double' will depend upon the method used to represent the floating-point numbers. ( Whatever the method, the range is quite large. )

The minimum number of digits of precision for each floating-point type is:

• float
Typical Size in Bits — 32
Minimal Range — Six digits of precision

• double
Typical Size in Bits — 64
Minimal Range — Ten digits of precision
