K., Kahan.
Float, short for floating point, is an important and much used representation of fractional numbers in computers.
Double, short for double precision, is a specific case of this representation used to reduce approximation errors in calculations.
William Kahan is a very prominent expert in the field of numerical analysis and calculations with computers in general.
Leaving as an exercise the well-known rule of the card game of bridge, "a redouble doubles the doubled value".
