Float

Type name: float

Rust type: f64

A float is a number that can have a fractional part, represented in decimal notation. Under the hood, floats are represented as 64-bit double-precision floating-point numbers.

<float>1.0</float>
<float>3.14</float>
<float>-2.71828</float>
<float>0.0</float>

Conversion to other types

When converting a float to other types, it behaves exactly as you would expect:

• int: An integer with the same value, discarding the fractional part (always rounding down).
• bool: true if the value is non-zero, false if it is zero (0.0).
• string: The string representation of the float, e.g., the string 42.5.
