Number of Bits To Represent Different Numeric Data Types
Number of Bits To Represent Different Numeric Data Types
1. Programming languages
a. Fortan
b. C/C ++
c. Python
- Integer occupies four bytes, or 32 bits.
- The floating-point type is like scientific notation, e.g., 6.02 × 1023. Since you can’t type a
superscript in plain text for Python
d. R
- Currently R’s only integer data type is a 32 bit signed integer
- so with a proper floating point implementation we expect a double can faithfully
represent an integer range of -2^53 through 2^53
d. Java
d. Julia
2. Software packages
a. Excel – Visual Basic for Applications
-
