hello everybody!!!

Is there anyway that i could declare a 64 bit floating point number in a PIC 16F877A ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
32 bit float is not enough to store the decimal places of 7 and above which i actually need....is there any library i could use or sumthing..???

need help urgently...

Double precision is not allowed in CCS.

Are you going to store such a big values in floats ?

actually it is not a big value...
its something like this

'0.00000021341'

i need the digits after the sixth zero after the decimal...these digits are not stored in a 32 bit floating point number...so actually i needed more precision...
is there a way to solve this directly or indirectly???

They should.
0.00000021341 = 0x686525B2

Could you point us the range of the values that you need to handle and store ?
Could you pls be more explicit about your procedure to store these values ?
