Disclaimer: this question may not have practical value, it's more of a puzzle/curiosity question.
In Java I can write the following code to programmatically find the size of int:
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int x = 1;
int count = 1;
while((x = x << 1) != 0)
{
count++;
System.out.println("x: " + x + ", " + count);
}
System.out.println("size: " + count);
}
Is there a similar way to programmatically find the size of Java's float?
