Single Data Type

Single (single-precision floating-point) variables are stored as IEEE 32-bit (4-byte) floating-point numbers, ranging in value from -3.402823E38 to -1.401298E-45 for negative values and from 1.401298E-45 to 3.402823E38 for positive values. Single precision numbers store an approximation of a real number. Any other numeric type can be implicitly converted to the Single Data type without error even though for the decimal type, this conversion result in a loss of precision.

Note    The Single data type can be converted to the Double or Decimal data type, without encountering an OverflowException error.

The equivalent NGWS runtime data type is System.Single.
