- `float`: 4 bytes (~6-9 digits precision). Written as `2.45f`.
- `double`: 8 bytes (~15-17 digits precision). This is the most common type. Written as `2.45` or `2.45d`.
- `decimal`: 16 bytes (28-29 digits precision). Normally used when working with monetary data, as its precision leads to less rounding errors. Written as `2.45m`.
- `decimal`: 16 bytes (28-29 digits precision). Normally used when working with monetary data, as its precision reduces the chance of rounding errors. Written as `2.45m`.

As can be seen, each type can store a different number of digits. This means that trying to store PI in a `float` will only store the first 6 to 9 digits (with the last digit being rounded).
