Float
Floats are floating point numbers ranging from about -10^38.53 to about 10^38.53. This is achieved by dividing 32 bits (4 bytes) in a certain way, with a certain precision. A float is used for operations in which both very large and small numbers are used, while rounding is not permitted. Unlike ints or shorts, a float actually has decimal digits. Their accuracy is about 7 decimal digits.
