For the most part, how many bits in a floating point number. More bits = greater precision.
no you cannot increase the precision of double itself in C

Single Precision, called "float" in the 'C' language family, and "real" or "real*4" in Fortan. This is a binary format that occupies 32 bits (4 bytes) and its significand has a precision of 24 bits (about 7 decimal digits). Double Precision called "double" in the C language family, and "double precision" or "real*8" in Fortran. This is a binary format that occupies 64 bits (8 bytes) and its significand has a precision of 53 bits (about 16 decimal digits). Regards, Prabhat Mishra

Floating point numbers are always stored according to the underlying architecture. The programming language is immaterial, it must use the same representations as the hardware itself, or at least provide an abstraction of it. C does not provide any abstractions for built-in data types. Most modern computers use the standard IEEE 754 representation, which caters for single-precision (equivalent to float in C), double-precision (double) and extended-precision (long double).

c to understand
You will be able to understand C programs. Also to write C programs.
Precision level refers to the degree of detail and accuracy in a measurement or data set. It can be assessed by examining the consistency of repeated measurements or the number of significant figures in reported values. In general, a higher precision level indicates that the measurements are closely clustered together and less affected by variability. To interpret precision, one can analyze the standard deviation or the range of values to understand the reliability of the results.
