There are three floating-point types in C++: float, double, long double.
We use them for storing floating-point values / real numbers:
#include <iostream> int main() /*from w ww.ja v a2 s. co m*/ { double d = 3.14; std::cout << "The value of d is: " << d; }
Some of the floating-point literals can be:
int main() { double x = 213.456; double y = 1.; double z = 0.15; double w = .15; double d = 3.14e10; }
