qudt:RealDoublePrecisionType

A real double precision data type specifies how a real number, or an approximation of a real number is stored in memory. Typically this occupies two words in computer memory, where the byte length of a word depends on machine address size of the computer processor. For example, on 32-bit machine architectures, a word is four bytes. An example of a real double precision data type specification is the IEEE 754 standard for encoding binary or decimal floating point numbers in 8 bytes for storage on 32-bit machine architectures.
