Floating-point real data types

Real (or floating-point) numbers are represented as 32-bit single-precision numbers (Real),
or 64-bit double-precision numbers (LReal) as described in the ANSI/IEEE 754-1985
standard. Single-precision floating-point numbers are accurate up to 6 significant digits and
double-precision floating point numbers are accurate up to 15 significant digits. You can
specify a maximum of 6 significant digits (Real) or 15 (LReal) when entering a floating-point
constant to maintain precision.
