An IEEE 754 64-bit floating point number. A Float
is
capable of approximately representing numeric values
between:
Zero is represented by distinct instances +0.0
, -0.0
,
but these instances are equal.
In addition, the following special values exist:
infinity
and -infinity
, andAs required by the IEEE standard, an undefined value, often
denoted NaN, is not equal to any other value, nor even
to itself. Thus, the definition of equals()
for Float
violates the general contract defined by Object.equals()
.
A floating point value with a zero fractionalPart
is
considered equal to its integer
part.
Literal floating point values are written with a decimal point and, optionally, a magnitude or exponent:
1.0 1.0E6 1.0M 1.0E-6 1.0u
In the case of a fractional magnitude, the decimal point is optional. Underscores may be used to group digits into groups of three.
