Detailed Description

A double-precision IEEE 754 binary floating point value (binary64).

This type arises from IEEE 754-1985 and represents a single-precision floating point number. This can fit within exactly 32 bits and may be used in situations where the range does not exceed ± ~2^1024. In total, there are 53 bits of precision in the significand.
