What's da difference between a float and a double

[rohan_pwln]

They seem the same to me. Is there anyway I can round floats to integers. And where can I get layer FX tutorials or posts. That's all

floats have a higher number range than doubles.

Double is short for double precision integer.

A float has a mantissa and an exponent.
eg. (a decimal float, computers use binary ones of course)
1.0533556 * 10^5

The point of having different types of integer variables, is to use as little memory as possible. A float will use the memory space of a float, even if you keep values there eg 1-9.

Some languages have types from 1-32bit storage... meaning there are a lot more types than anyone cares for.. I usually use Integer for whole numbers and float for floating point numbers.. the whole idea about this is memory usage all the way.

i think there is

System.FloatToInteger(float value)

but not sure, i don't have std.mi right now (not at home)...

Not directly, but you could use FloatToString and then StringToInteger or:

float f = whatever,004;
int i = f;

Here is a double

And this is a floating

Here is a floater

The same as mine, just a question of time after the "meal" (if you dare to call meal the fact of swallowing a Mc Do chit )
