Common Data Types

abc123ben · 11-29-2007, 12:43 AM

Hello,

I am reading beginning ASP.NET in VB 2005 - and I am currently on Common Data Types, page 24. there are a few data types I don't understand.

Int64 = An integer from -9.2e18 to 9.2e18;
Single = -3.4e38 to 3.4e38;
Double = -1.8e308 to 1.8e308

The thing I don't understand is what the letters inside the integer for? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.
