Document Summary

Floating-point numbers are sometimes used when an integer exceeds the range of the largest. Floating-point numbers can not be exactly equal to others. Math. abs(); is a method of the math class for absolute value . Is the difference threshold indicating that floating-point numbers are equal. it"s value depends on the program"s expected values, but . An initialized variable whose value cannot change is called a variable. These use uppercase initializations with underscores separating words. A type conversion is the conversion of one data type to another. when compilers do this automatically, it is called an . Character methods return values, and must be a suffix to character : For assignment =, the right side type is converted to the left side type is the conversion can take place without loss of precision. conversions that may lose precision do not occur automatically.
