How can I declare a double precision variable in Fortran?

To declare a double precision variable in Fortran, you can use the "real(kind8)" declaration. This specifies that the variable should be of double precision, which is typically 8 bytes in size.


What is maximum length of float in c?

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).


Difference between single precision and double precision?

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


How many bytes of memory does an integer occupy?

4 bytes


What is double precision value?

That usually refers to a floating-point number that is stored in 8 bytes, and has (in decimal) about 15 significant digits. In contrast, single-precision is stored in 4 bytes, and has only 6-7 significant digits.


How many bytes does number datatype occupy in oracle?

In main memory how many bits num variable will hold?

That depends on the programming language, and on the specific data type. Java, for example, has integers of different sizes; for example, an int uses 4 bytes, and a long uses 8 bytes. It also has shorter integer data types. Java also has different types of floating point numbers; for example, a double uses 8 bytes, and a float uses 4 bytes. Java also has classes for arbitrary-precision math (classes BigInt and BigMath); in this case, the size in memory for a number will vary, depending on the number of digits.That depends on the programming language, and on the specific data type.

Basically 1 kilobyte


Why do we use double in java but do not use float?

Double is more precise than float. The 4 bytes saved on a float are usually not very relevant. However, if you need to save large amounts of numbers (e.g. in an array), and you don't need the extra precision, you might save some memory by using float.
