C# in a Nutshell, Second Edition

Name

Single

Synopsis

This represents a 32-bit single-precision floating number as a value type. The value of a single can range approximately from -3.4x10³⁸ to 3.4x10³⁸, and can also be set to one of the following fields: PositiveInfinity, NegativeInfinity, and NaN (not a number). In C#, this type is aliased as float.
