Im not clear about floats

Answer 1

a float is just any real number. 1.0, 2.575436789632, -0.333 are examples of floats. like @alCosecant Maths said: floats are just decimals.
If you use the / operator, it will return a float.
2/1 == 2.0

to convert any other numerical datatype to a float, use the float method. E.g:
x = float(5)
x == 5.0

Answer 2

me either man
why float when you can sink!

Answer 3

ok a beginner can take it to be like decimals . . .

Answer 4

Floats are not really decimals, we have a completely separate module for that. it is like scientific notation in base 2, more or less

Answer 5

division operation always gives a float

Answer 6

k thanks @amaras

Answer 7

rest or move on or near the surface of a liquid without sinking.

Answer 8

A float is NOT an exact value, there are several errors with that... for instance, there is a smallest float, not a smallest real number

Answer 9

a float means exact value. 10/5=5.0 n 5 is also correct
but in any programming once assign as float number must be ending with .0 or some number.

Answer 10

@Naveen no, it doesn't return a decimal, it returns a float. For instance, 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 != 0.3 That's not decimal, there is a separate module for that
