What is float?
The float type stores single-precision floating-point numbers, meaning it can represent fractional values but with limited precision, typically around 6 to 7 significant decimal digits. It follows the IEEE 754 standard on most systems and takes up 4 bytes of memory. Because floating-point representation is inherently imprecise, comparing float values for exact equality is generally unreliable.
