Why would 7.0 be stored as a float if its still a whole number?

Question

Why is 7.0 stored as a float

Answer 1

Yeah sorry I forgot to check the tag. Python types dynamically apparently (just saw that in the python tutorial) so it is because you add the decimal point.

Answer 2

Because it is stored as a float when you declare it as a 'float'.

Answer 3

@Karl I think he's referring to Python.

7.0 is a float because it contains a decimal point.

Answer 4
