Single precisionA single precision number is generally considered to be one that occupies a single addressed location in a computer store, as opposed to double precision. Current computing systems are often based on 32-bit numbers, meaning that single precision uses 32-bit numbers and double precision uses 64-bit ones. The number represented can be integer, fixed point or floating point.
