Which three are valid declarations of a float?
- float f1 = -343;
- float f2 = 3.14;
- float f3 = 0x12345;
- float f4 = 42e7;
- float f5 = 2001.0D;
- float f6 = 2.81F;
Answer: Option
Explanation:
(1) and (3) are integer literals (32 bits), and integers can be legally assigned to floats (also 32 bits). (6) is correct because (F) is appended to the literal, declaring it as a float rather than a double (the default for floating point literals).
(2), (4),and (5) are all doubles.

Hi All,
Why 3.14 is not a float number?
According to Java compiler, it is not a float number. It is a double value.
If you want the java compiler to deal it as float value you have to specify as given below:
float f = 3.14f;
Hope this will help you. Have a nice day!

I also did not understand the same concept.
How do we find the range and find whether its double or float?.

eg. float f=7.8
is possible,rite?
why not f=3.14??
