Float Data
A float constant is a floating-point value of up to 17 digits total; the value
includes a decimal point and up to 9 digits of precision to the right of this
decimal point. By default, values are formatted with the %g notation of
the printf( ) function in either decimal or scientific notation, which gives
full precision in minimum space. Values can be formatted with the
number format symbols or the printf( ) format.
