DOUBLE
The DOUBLE data type is stored in the IEEE double-precision format which is 64 bits
long. The most significant bit is the sign bit, the next 11 most significant bits are the
exponent field, and the remaining 52 bits are the fractional field. The bias of the
exponent is 1023. The range of single precision format values is from 2.23
× 10 –308
to
1.8
× 10 308
. The floating-point number is precise to 15 decimal digits.
