─────Single-Precision REAL──────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
     A single-precision real value occupies 4 bytes of memory. Its
     precision is between six and seven decimal digits. The range of
     single-precision real values includes the negative numbers from
     approximately -3.4028235E+38 to -1.1754944E-38, the number 0, and
     the positive numbers from approximately +1.1754944E-38 to
     +3.4028235E+38.
 
     Optionally include E after number to indicate an exponent. Use this
     exponential format to identify single-precision constants.
