Literals/Floating point: Difference between revisions

There are two floating point types: Double (64 bits) and Float (32 bits). The default floating point type is Double.

Double literals must end with a decimal point with at least one digit after it, and/or a scientific notation suffix made with <code>e</code> (or <code>E</code>) followed by an integer literal.

A Float literal is made by appending <code>f</code> (or <code>F</code>) to a Double or Int literal (see [[Literals/Integer#Kotlin|integer literals]]).
