1. Float
2. Double
Float data type is used to store decimal values with 6 to 7 digits of precession .It is of 32 bits i.e. 4 bytes. By default all floating values or decimal values are stored in double type .So i you want to use float data type then you have to add a suffix "f " at the end of the number otherwise it will store the value to double type and you have given data type float so an error will come.
Double data type is used to represent values with precession of about 15 digits. Its size is 64 i.e. 8 bytes. Double data type is used to store very big values and that big value is not used so often so we use float data type then double data type.
