float keyword in C# - GeeksforGeeks

Keywords are the words in a language that are used for some internal process or represent some predefined actions. float is a keyword that is used to declare a variable which can store a floating point value from the range of ±1.5 x 10^-45 to ±3.4 x 10³⁸. It is an alias of System.Single.

Syntax:

float variable_name = value;

float keyword occupies 4 bytes (32 bits) space in the memory. We use a suffix f or F with the value to represent a float value.

Example:

Input: -3629.4586F

Output: num: -3629.458
        Size of a float variable: 4

Input: 16345.6456f

Output: Type of num: System.Single
        num: 16345.65
        Size of a float variable: 4
        Min value of float: -3.402823E+38
        Max value of float: 3.402823E+38

Example 1:

// C# program for float keyword 
using System; 
using System.Text; 
  
class GFG { 
  
    static void Main(string[] args) 
    { 
        // variable declaration 
        float num = -3629.4586F; 
  
        // to print value 
        Console.WriteLine("num: " + num); 
  
        // to print size 
        Console.WriteLine("Size of a float variable: " + sizeof(float)); 
    } 
} 

Output:

num: -3629.458
Size of a float variable: 4

Example 2:

// C# program for float keyword 
using System; 
using System.Text; 
  
namespace geeks { 
  
class GFG { 
  
    static void Main(string[] args) 
    { 
        // variable declaration 
        float num = 16345.6456f; 
  
        // to print type of variable 
        Console.WriteLine("Type of num: " + num.GetType()); 
  
        // to print value 
        Console.WriteLine("num: " + num); 
  
        // to print size 
        Console.WriteLine("Size of a float variable: " + sizeof(float)); 
  
        // to print minimum & maximum value of float 
        Console.WriteLine("Min value of float: " + float.MinValue); 
        Console.WriteLine("Max value of float: " + float.MaxValue); 
    } 
} 
} 

Output:

Type of num: System.Single
num: 16345.65
Size of a float variable: 4
Min value of float: -3.402823E+38
Max value of float: 3.402823E+38
