Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "floating-point" is commonly used to refer to numbers that contain a decimal point, which includes all real numbers. Boolean only includes two values (e.g. true or false), integers only include whole numbers without a decimal point, and long integers are simply a type of integer that can hold larger values than a standard integer. A floating-point number, also known as a floating-point, is a real number that can contain a decimal point. It can be positive or negative and can include zero. The other options are not correct because boolean is restricted to True/False values, integer is a whole number without a decimal point, and long int is a data type that can store large integers but not decimal values.
