Float

The data type Float contains a floating point number. Floating point numbers consist of a fixed number of digits that specify the value of the number according to the place value system, as well as the specification by how many places the decimal point must be moved to the left or right to obtain the number in decimal notation. For example, the specification "12345 and the decimal point 2 places to the left" describes the number 123.45. This number representation covers a large number range due to the movable decimal point and offers good accuracy due to the fixed number of written out digits.
