Prototype:

number float(number)

Description:

Gets the floating point (float C type) of a static number (double C type).

Example:

import standard.C.casts

class Main {
     function Main() {
          var decimal_number=-12.345;
          var a_number=12337500087987979123123;

          echo "The float representation of " + decimal_number + " is ";
          echo float(decimal_number);
          echo "\n";

          echo "The float representation of " + a_number + " is ";
          echo float(a_number);
          echo "\n";
          
     }
}
 

Results 
The float representation of -12.345000000000001 is -12.345000267028809
The float representation of 12337500087987980000000 is 12337499715090696000000
