Never feel bad for asking! float is a data type meant to hold numbers with decimal parts like 0.836 or 3.14 (called a floating point). BTW, double is more accurate than float and holds greater numbers. input() is a method that outputs a prompt, and waits for the user to give an input. Ex: name = input("Enter your name:\t") string is a data type that holds text. Text is denoted with quotes. Ex: string subject = "History"

Worth adding that input() always return string as result. So if you think of receiving a number, you have to convert it by using int() for integers or float() for floats.

it's not stupid to ask something i'll keep it as simple as i can a float is just a number that is not a whole like 1.1 or 5.5(5.5 + 4.5 = 10) input is asking sonething from a user like: name = input('what is your name: ') print('hello ' + name) output: what is your name: yunus <-- this is the input hello yunus and strings are everything between ' ' or " " print("this is a string") or print('this is a string')
