Primitive data types for real numbers: float

Type	float
Dimension	32 bit (4 byte)
Domain	set of 232 positive and	Minimum absolute value	1.4012985 . 10-38
	negative real numbers	Maximum absolute value	3.4028235 . 10+38
		Precision	$\sim$ 7 decimal digits
Operations	+	sum
	-	difference
	*	product
	/	division
Literals	sequences of digits with decimal dot ending with an f (or F)
	denoting values of the domain (e.g., 3.14f)
	representation in scientific notation (e.g., 314E-2f)

Example:

float pi, a, b;  // Declaration of variables of type float
pi = 3.14f;      // Use of literals
a = 314E-2F      // Use of literals
a++;             // Use of increment operator (equivalent to: a = a + 1.0d;)
