Questions tagged [double]

Double is a primitive data type used to store fractional numbers that holds a double-precision floating-point (often 64 bits).

In C and C++ double must be at least as large as float (another floating-point type), but its actual size can vary from system to system as it is implementation-defined. It is typically twice the size of float. Many systems store doubles in binary64, a format described in the IEEE 754 technical standard.

Java has a very strict definition for double, requiring it to be stored in binary64 (which is also called double-precision).
