# double class

A double-precision floating point number.

Representation of Dart doubles containing double specific constants and operations and specializations of operations inherited from num. Dart doubles are 64-bit floating-point numbers as specified in the IEEE 754 standard.

The double type is contagious. Operations on doubles return double results.

It is a compile-time error for a class to attempt to extend or implement double.
