A floating-point type in C is a data type used to store decimal numbers, which can represent a wide range of values with fractional components. The main floating-point types in C are float
, double
, and long double
.

float
typically occupy in C?A float
typically occupies 4 bytes in C.
double
typically occupy in C?A double
typically occupies 8 bytes in C.
long double
typically occupy in C?A long double
typically occupies 8, 12, or 16 bytes in C, depending on the platform and compiler.
float
in C?A float
typically has a precision of about 6-7 decimal digits.
double
in C?A double
typically has a precision of about 15-16 decimal digits.
The header file <float.h>
must be included to use floating-point type limits in C.
