Float literals are sequences of digits (0 through 9) optionally prefixed by a minus sign, and followed by a dot and another sequence of digits. Floats are 32-bits in size, and have a range of 1.175494351 E – 38 to 3.402823466 E + 38 with 7 significant digits. | Float literals are sequences of digits (0 through 9) optionally prefixed by a minus sign, and followed by a dot and another sequence of digits.
