well can any one help me with the internal representation of float and doubles ......i know tht they are stored using the IEEE 754 format so is that the reason why a double 0.7 is greater than a float 0.7 ?????

Here is a good explaination.
doubles have greater precision than floats, so if you view the raw value of 0.7 a double might be 0.7000001 while a float might be 0.7000
