float (floating point number)

Floating point number (primitive)

Description

Any number. To be precise, a full set of all IEEE-754 64-bit floating-point numbers.

This data-type is going to be deprecated in favour of num (since it is literally the same underlying data-type anyway). Please do not use float

Supported Hooks

• Marshal() Supported
• Unmarshal() Supported

See Also

• int: Whole number (primitive)
• num (number): Floating point number (primitive)
