What's float for

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

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)

float is a type like integer or string, you can also change it if you want with another type
