Hi, I know that the limits of - byte goes from -2^7 to 2^7-1 - char goes from 0 to 2^16 - int goes from -2^31 to 2^31-1 But what about float and double ? Thanks in advance.

Pretty much -Double.MAX_VALUE to Double.MAX_VALUE and -Float.MAX_VALUE to Float.MAX_VALUE, but no closer to zero than approximately Double.MIN_VALUE and Float.MIN_VALUE. Double.MAX_VALUE is 1.7976931348623157E308 Float.MAX_VALUE is 3.4028235E38 Double.MIN_VALUE is 4.9E-324 Float.MIN_VALUE is 1.4E-45 --Mike Amling Back to top My full name Guest Posted: Sat Nov 08, 2003 12:04 am    Post subject: Re: Limits of float and double ?
