Standard data type: 32 bit floating point
Syntax
`
Dim variable As Single
`
Description
Single is a 32-bit, floating point data type used to store decimal numbers. They can hold positive values in the range `1.401298e-45` to `3.402823e+38`, or negative values in the range `-1.401298e-45` to `-3.402823e+38`, or zero (`0`). They contain at most 24 bits of precision, or about 6 decimal digits.
They are similar to `Double` data types, but less precise.
