What's float for

Question

print(float(input("Enter a number: ")) + float(input("Enter another number: ")))
why does it use float?

Answer 1

It's also useful for doing something with the user input after like:
Calculating taxes. Without float, input would make price equal to a string which would result in an error with you try to multiply it with a floating point number like 1.07
price = float(input("Enter price of product:"))
tax = 1.07
total = price * tax
print(total)
