Julia: Floating point numbers

Julia support following floating-point types.

Type	Precision	Number Of Bits
Float16	half	16
Float32	single	32
Float64	double	64

julia> a=10.01
10.01

julia> typeof(a)
Float64

In addition to decimal point notation, you can also use 1.234e2, 1.234f2 to represent floating point numbers. ‘e’ notation is used to represent Float64 numbers, ‘f’ notation is used to represent Float32 numbers.

julia> a=123.4;

julia> b=1.234e2;

julia> c=1.234f2;

julia> a
123.4

julia> b
123.4

julia> c
123.4f0

julia> typeof(a)
Float64

julia> typeof(b)
Float64

julia> typeof(c)
Float32

Note:

While performing operations on Float16 numbers, these are promoted to Float32 by default.
