In C++, what the actual hellfire is the difference between classifying my decimals as floats or doubles when in reality both items give me the exact same decimal in the end?

It's there to make you go "hm, maybe I should be programming in a better language, 2bad about your hair bjarne bye"

decimals are basically integers shifted n number of base-10 digits into the decimal places. floats are basically the same, but done in binary instead of base-10.

it's true, floating point is completely jewish, which is why it's substandard and full of quirks that make it shit.
In a more just universe without kikes, we'd all have Posit based hardware by now.

It's more a historic thing. Just use doubles everywhere, it's 2019 and they are as fast or faster than float.

...it's true....

kek what a genius idea. Why even use float in the first place anymore

Except the fucking don't. Its like you have no idea how computers work or something.
Eli Ramirez
explain why using doubles all the time is a bad thing
Zachary Kelly
Because they also use double the space.

Regardless of how "strong" a computer is you're still wasting cache space you fucking imbecile.

In the unlikely chance that you're being serious, or for any uninformed onlooker, floats/single-precision still has its uses.
GPUs are often built to work with single-precision matrices, for shaders/deep learning etc, along with image/video compression and the like. Basically anytime you need to meet really tight performance or space requirements.
