Does Ruby distinguish between floats and doubles?

Question

I am working on something that fetches user input but the number may be too big for float. The function for fetching floating points I have come across thus far is gets.to_f. Is there a function for doubles or does Ruby handle this automatically?

Answer 1

Ruby does not have a 'double' type number like c#
It only has float.
Also, you don't need to worry about precision, ruby will handle automatically.
