By default a real number is treated as a
Answer: Option
Explanation:
In computing, 'real number' often refers to non-complex floating-point numbers. It include both rational numbers, such as 42 and 3/4, and irrational numbers such as pi = 3.14159265...
When the accuracy of the floating point number is insufficient, we can use the double to define the number. The double is same as float but with longer precision and takes double space (8 bytes) than float.
To extend the precision further we can use long double which occupies 10 bytes of memory space.

Answer:
void main ()
{
float a=1.1;
if(a>1.1)
printf("welcome");
else
printf("bye");
getch();
}
Why the output is welcome please tell?
Float a=1.1 is considered float.
But, if (a>1. 1) there, 1.1 is real constant considered double. So, when using relation operators, type conversion accrued, the float convert to double, the padding accrued to value changed comparison time is not equal. Clearly you want, search about type conversion, how to changed the value in 0 1 padding time.

Difference between float and double? Does the space is the only difference? Any one please tell me.

This is a program very use get some knowledge how to programming compile what mean by "C" programming any important language send the email's.

Here, float a=1.1 (1.100000), double b=1.1 (1.10000000).
So, a==b evaluates to false.
So, a==b evaluates to false.

Why it is not long double?

Long double is also the right one. Why to take only double?

Is there far double data type in c?
