how many bytes is a float data type
Int is 4 bytes with a range of +- 2^31 Float is 4 bytes with a range of +- 1.2E(+- 38) Float encompasses so many more points on the Real Line and yet is equal to the size of int. Is the Sign-Exponent-Fraction representation of float so awesome (or the 2's complement of Int so pathetic) that this size disparity arises? Am I missing something?
