What is a float

Answer 1

Straight from the Python course - https://www.sololearn.com/Course/Python/?ref=app :

Floats are used in Python to represent numbers that aren't integers.
Some examples of numbers that are represented as floats are 0.5 and -7.8237591.
They can be created directly by entering a number with a decimal point, or by using operations such as division on integers. Extra zeros at the number's end are ignored. For eg.

>>> 3/4
0.75
>>> 9.8765000
9.8765
