https://csharp.net-tutorials.com/data-types/floating-points/#aelm5191 david chongo look this tutorial. Answer is correct: 1) 0, 2 - we can use as float. 2) 4.3 - is double data type, it's not valid as float. 3) 5.5f - float. 'f' - the symbol of float.

I tried it on the code playground. If you do this in C#: float x = 4.3; Console.WriteLine(x); You get an error message because the default floating point type of C# is double, which has more precision than float. Therefore it is not possible for the compiler to implicitly downcast it. So you either use the f suffix to signal the float notation, or do an explicit cast: float x = 4.3f; float y = (float) 4.3; On the other hand it is possible to upcast integers to float values, because no precision is lost.
