@LinusCDE That's probably just because they're usually rounded to a few decimal places to avoid ridiculously long numbers

@Ezard In Java the float it a 32-Bit number and has five digets.
In most high level languages (Python, JS) it is true for sure because they handle numbers vastly different than traditional languages. -
@LinusCDE Actually the smallest (as in closest to zero) Java float you can get is +/- 1.4 x10^-45, which is a lot more than 5 digits :)

@Ezard So they allow fractions??
That's why I never believe common sense when I write Javascript.
Float strikes again 🙄
