There is no support for floating point in the native API. The basics 
(+,-,*,/, SQRT) are handled via the JVM. The rest is handled at the 
library level. The format is described in IEEE Std 754-1985. Single 
precision values are 32 bits and are therefore passed in and returned 
just as "int" values are passed and returned. Double precision values 
are 64 bits and therefore are handled in the same manner as "long" values.
