Float / Floating-Point Data Type

The "float" data type is used to represent floating point numbers. The range of values for the "float" datatype is between +/-3.4e38 to +/-3.4e38. Usually floating point numbers have decimal places.

Example :

#include <iostream.h> void main() { float rad=2; float pi= 3.14159; float area=pi *rad *rad; cout << "Radius of the circle is:"<< rad << '\n'; cout << "Area of the circle is:"<< area <<'\n'; }

Result:

In the above data type example, the value of "pi" is a floating point number. Also the the value for area of the circle is a floating point number.
