float and double is double. in c, real support is compiler dependant, it may or may not be available. - -- My enormous talent is exceeded only by my outrageous laziness. http://www.ssTk.co.uk -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iD8DBQFKs/YuT9LetA9XoXwRAg5jAJ98cKfmnt2XfFFODbqbG0CzjN78xACeNWkQ bLYQ4yOZKLSmn8ZNvXXGCX4= =YvgC -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Most of the time you'll see D's real type to be declared as 'long double' in C/C++, some compilers such as VC++ understand it to be syntactically different from 'double' but implement it using the same semantics (ie, 64bits).
