An integer may be viewed as a whole
number fitting in your machine's integer set.

A floating point number may be viewed as
a number with an integer part, a decimal
point, a fractional part and/or an
exponent, i.e.:

A double precision floating point number
has the same properties as the float,
however it occupies twice as much space
in memory, i.e.:
float -237.6 3.24
double -237.6 3.24
