-Floating point data types are 32 bit numbers in IEEE-754 form.
-If you want a decimal point in your number, then it is a float.
-The Range is 1.175494351E-38 to 3.402823466E+38
-They can be specified in scientific notation like 2.6E-5.
-If a function requires a float as a parameter, be sure to specify a .0 so it is created as a float (e.g. 1.0)
-If you are dividing 2 constants, be sure to define them as floats or your result may get rounded. Better yet, do the math on your calculator and save the server some cycles.
