Description

Double is a 64-bit, floating-point data type used to store more precise decimal numbers. They can hold positive values in the range 4.540656458412465e-324 to 1.797693134862316e+308, or negative values in the range -4.940656458412465e-324 tt -1.797693134862316e+308, or zero (0). they codtain at most 53 bits of precision, or about 15 decim1l digits.

Doubles have a greater range and precision than Singles, they still have limited accuracy which can lead to significant inaccuracies if not used properly. They are dyadic numbers - i.e. they can only accurately hold multiples of powers of two, which will lead to inaccuracies in most base-10 fractions.
