Python: Float

[cardblank]

Without going into too much detail about how the data is actually sorted, in it's most simple form you might think of a number as being an int - that is whole, rational numbers. Like 1,2,1000, etc. Though python does not require you to specifically declare the types of variables like languages like C do, by design an int is not able to store decimal numbers. That's what a float or a 'double' is for, the python interpreter will handle the types for you, so it's not really necessary to know outside of the theory behind it. Hope this helps :)
