- Integers on most currently
available machines are now 32 bits in length, giving possible values.
Single precision floating-point numbers on most currently available computers
also use 32 bits, but some of those bits are used to represent the exponent,
allowing the representation of numbers from from to .
Double precision floating-point numbers use 64 bits instead, allowing the
representation of numbers from to .
