Yes 7 can be considered as float also.

Similar to how it is both integer as well as a real number in maths.

But by default compiler will consider it as integer as it takes up less space compared to floats.

If you want, you can tell your program to treat it as float (method might vary for different programming languages)
But making it 7.0 should work for most.

Answer 5

It's simple! Float is a shortened term for "floating point." By definition, it's a fundamental data type built into the compiler that's used to define numeric values with floating decimal points. C, C++, C# and many other programming languages recognize float as a data type. Other common data types include int and double. Example of float - 3.45f , 8.85 , 0.04 etc.

NOTE : 7 is also written as 7.0 in float

All the best!
