basically boolean is true or false, float are single-precision decimal numbers (of course there are more details appart than that) You can see more information here: https://www.tutorialspoint.com/java/java_basic_datatypes.htm
Hope it helps đ

bool test = true; //boolean state (can only be true or false)
double otherTest = 1.5; // floating point number (or number with decimal places)

A bool variable can equal true or false. The float variable can equal decimal numbers and integers. I'm going to give an example of each using the programming language c++.
An example of bool is:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
cout << "You had a good day (true or false)" << endl;
bool goodDay;
cin >> goodDay;
if(goodDay == true) then {
cout << "I am happy for you" << endl;
} else {
cout << "Aw, I hope you feel better soon" << endl;
}
return 0;
}
An example of float is:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
float num;
cout << "What number do you want to divide by two?" << endl;
cin >> num;
num /= 2;
cout << "The number you have given, divided by two, is " << num;
return 0;
}
If num is set to 5, knce it is divided by 2, it will become 2.5. If the variable tyoe was integer instead, the 5 would become 2 ince divided by 2.
