25. whats the difference between float & double coderanch.comI think you are getting "different" for the 3.2 because a computer's floating point unit works with base 2 binary and 0.2 can't be represented precisely in binary, it is called a repeater fraction. In base-2 only numbers with denominators that are powers of 2 are terminating, which I think is only .25, .50, and .75, which is why 6.5 shows ... |

40. double vs. float forums.oracle.comInteger division produces integer results, and fractions are truncated. 999/1000 is 0 This is true regardless of any assignment of the result to a variable. The result is computed before the assignment happens. So if you're dividing by the result of 999/1000, then you're dividing by zero. "double expected" is because floating point literals lke 250.0 and 1.5 are doubles, and ... |

43. floats or double forums.oracle.comThere is some performance hit, but you are very, very, very unlikely to see this in any regular program. Also Java only guaranties that 32-bit operations (float) are 'atomic', 64-bit operations (double) can require two memory read/write operations, hence the need for the various Atomic... classes in the Java concurrency utilities. This may of course change as 64-bit operating systems come ... |
