Float

The type float specifies a single precision value that uses 32 - bits of storage. A Single precision is  faster on  a few  processors and  takes  half  as  much  space  as  double precision, but will become imprecise whenever the values are either very large or very small. A Variables of type float are meaningful when you require a fractional component, but don't' need a large degree of precision. For instance, float can be useful when representing dollars and cents.

Here are a few instance float variable declarations: Float lowtemp, hightemp;
