When assigning a float... for instance


Long = L;
L = 564732L;


is it always necessary to put 'L' at the end of the value (564732).....? and what about doubles? is it the same or?









Also can someone tell me what's wrong with my code here:

figured out the problem in my code.... Long should be long... and Double should be double..... But i still need answers for my question about assigning float types

The java compiler interprets any decimal number as a double, so you have to add an f at the end to tell the compiler to treat it as a float.

For example...

float f = 1.4; // this will give a type mismatch error because the compiler thinks 1.4 is a double

float f = 1.4f // this tells the compiler that 1.4 is a float
