Hello!

I have a problem regarding single and double types in vb. What i can't figure out is how to determine the precision of each of the types, that is how many figures on the "right side of the dot" can there be? In Microsoft msdn there is just stated single-precision and double-precision. Is there anyone willing to clarify this? Thanks in advance.

From MSDN:

Single (single-precision floating-point) variables are stored as IEEE 32-bit (4-byte) floating-point numbers, ranging in value from -3.402823E38 to -1.401298E-45 for negative values and from 1.401298E-45 to 3.402823E38 for positive values.

Double (double-precision floating-point) variables are stored as IEEE 64-bit (8-byte) floating-point numbers ranging in value from -1.79769313486231E308 to -4.94065645841247E-324 for negative values and from 4.94065645841247E-324 to 1.79769313486232E308 for positive values.

Is that what you needed?
