I have this question: since there are different storage types (e.g., byte, int, long, float, double), and they use different bytes for storage (e.g, float uses 4 bytes and double uses 8 bytes), then how does Stata compare values of different types? For example, how does Stata compare 10 (int type) with 10 (float type)? The first 10 is stored shorter than the second 10.
