I'm writing a framework for writing HDF files with JAVA (Using some existing framework). I need to keep compatibility with octave. That is, octave should be able to read the files my framework writes and vice versa.

My question is, does Octave have two data types - float and double or it uses only double?

thanks

I have a method whose callers require different datatypes.
