A float data type in Java stores a decimal value with 6-7 total digits of precision. So, for example, 12.12345 can be saved as a float, but 12.123456789 can't be saved as a float. When representing a float data type in Java, we should append the letter f to the end of the data type; otherwise it will save as double. The default value of a float in Java is 0.0f. Float data type is used when you want to save memory and when calculations don't require more than 6 or 7 digits of precision.

Correct uses: float fl=4.2f; float fl= 4.2F; mistake: float fl=4.2;

Without the F suffix, the compiler will treat them as doubles.
