So, I just started to learn Java, and, I've found like "double" variable.

Question

Does the "double" variable have the same meaning with "Float" in python? Because I saw that "double" is likee this :
double score : 16.7;
And Float :
Age : 16.7

Do they the same? I mean, double is like a float number in python, or not?

Answer 1

In Java, floats are represented in 32 bits, whereas double is represented via 64 bits (hence double, as in, double precision).

In Python, float is already 64 bit, equivalent to a double in Java, C, etc.

In general, they store the same type of information, so your understanding is correct. It's just that the size of the container is different.
