Decimal numbers are real numbers. In C and C++ we use the float, double and long double data types to represent real numbers.
A loss of precision error occurs when you use a variable of a data type that holds more decimal values than the type of the variable you are converting/inserting to.
Double/Decimal- Used to store number with decimal placesFor ExampleDim a As Doublea = 12.64lblDisplay.Text = "The Double value store in the variable is" & aEnd Sub
Use a double or a float data type. While these are suitable for most floating point purposes, there may be times when you need to deal with extremely small or extremely large numbers with a higher degree of accuracy than is possible with the built-in types. In these cases you must either define your own data type or use a third-party data type. For instance, calculating the millionth decimal digit of pi cannot be achieved with the built-in types alone.
A computer programmer can use fractions in his/her program simply by turning the fraction into a decimal. In a language like java, there is not extensive support nor a primitive data type for fractions, but you can store fractions as their decimal equivalents in things such as floats and doubles.
char data type
To type a decimal point, you use the period key. .

A column of numbers containing a decimal point, like prices.
In Access, you use data type. In Word and Excel, you use data validation.
char data type
bar graphs use categorical data
No, data is information and decimal is a fraction out of a power of ten.
