Float Data Type
In Python, the
floatdata type is a number with a decimal point.
Floats may be printed using scientific notation.
type(23.0) # float
type(3.2 + 2.5) # float
2.0 ** 300 # 2.037035976334486e+90 Floats have limited precision. The final few decimal places after arithmetic can be unexpectedly wrong.
