Makes sense, cause double can represent way bigger numbers than integers.

[-] lysdexic@programming.dev 32 points 1 year ago

Also, double can and does in fact represent integers exactly.

Only to 2^54. The amount of integers representable by a long is more. But it can and does represent every int value correctly

*long long, if we're gonna be taking about C types. A long is commonly limited to 32 bits.

[-] Aux@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

C is irrelevant because this post is about Java and in Java long is 64 bits.

you should never be using these types in c anyway, (u?)int(8/16/32/64)_t are way more sane
