As Above.


Just making sure, float can hold over 32 thousand positives numbers and double can hold approx 63 thousand positive numbers. Hence double can hold the largest positive number. Is this right?

Thanks 🙂

What do you mean a float can hold over 32 thousand position numbers
(you mess this up with short int?)

a float can handle decimal(+/-) numbers from 1.1*10^-38 to 3.4*10^38

a double can handle decimal(+/-) numbers from 2.2*10^-308 to 1.7*10^308

those are from ANSI C btw.
