For better understand open a new java, declear a double and float as Double dmin = Double.MIN_VALUE, dmax = Double.MAX_VALUE; and print both the values using System.out.println(dmin + " " +dmax) ; Do same for float with obious change you'll know the difference

You will see most of the time we use double rather than float in Java . one reason is while initializing float number you have to write 'f' followed by number. float num = 3.12f; while in double, double num = 3.12;
