As you can see, a [[Long Integer|long]] might be expected to have up to 10 digits, but a [[Floating Point|float]] will not accurately display more than 7 (it can, however, accurately show a number of less than eight digits followed by twenty or more zeros, if necessary), and so a [[Long Integer|long]] will '''not''' behave as expected because it is actually a [[Floating Point|float]]. See the [[Floating Point|float article]] for more information on floats' accuracy, and see [[Talk:Long Integer|Long's Talk page]] for details on this discovery. | As you can see, a [[Long Integer|long]] might be expected to have up to 10 digits, but a [[Floating Point|float]] will not accurately display more than 7 (it can, however, accurately show a number of less than eight digits followed by twenty or more zeros, if necessary), and so a [[Long Integer|long]] will '''not''' behave as expected because it is actually a [[Floating Point|float]].

Other than that, however, generally [[Long Integer|longs]] and [[Short Integer|shorts]] will be rounded off to the nearest integer (i.e. 1.25 becomes 1, 1.75 becomes 2), while [[Floating Point|floats]] will store the decimal data. However, if a variable is a Global, then it will ''always'' be a [[Floating Point|float]] and therefore will not round off the decimal values. | |||
