 Floats( `float` ) and integers( `int` ) are two widely used datatypes in programming environments.

 * An **integer** is an integral data type used to store whole numbers.

* A **float** has the ability to store decimal or floating-point​ numbers.

|   |  Float | Int   |
| - | - | - |
|  Size | 32 bits  | 32 bits  |
| Range | 1.2 x 10<sup>-38</sup> to 3.4 x 10<sup>38 </sup> |  -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647 |  |
| Example | 2.4, 3.8, 11.2| 1,22,55|

# Code
The`float` and `int` datatypes are a little bit different. Here is a sample code for a better understanding.

In the example above, integer variable `a` and float `c` prints the exact value as assigned to it; whereas,  `b` is an integer variable and only stores `9` instead of `9.5`.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  // Integer whole number assigned to int a 
  int a = 5;
  // Floating point number assigned to an integer value b.
  // It will store the value before decimal i.e 9
  int b = 9.5;
  //Floating point number assigned to float c.
  float c = 7.8;
  
  //output can be seen with cout command.
  cout << a <<endl << b << endl << c <<endl;
  
  return 0;
}

Float and Ints

Ints store whole numbers; floats store decimals. Int's range: -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647. Float's range: 1.2 x 10^-38 to 3.4 x 10^38.

	Float	Int

Range	1.2 x 10^-38 to 3.4 x 10³⁸	-2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647
Example	2.4, 3.8, 11.2	1,22,55
