๐Ÿ“š Quick Study Guide

    ๐Ÿ”ข What are Floats? Floats are numbers with decimal points. They represent real numbers in Python. โž— Basic Operations: You can perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with floats. ๐Ÿงฎ Float() Function: Converts integers or strings to floating-point numbers. ๐Ÿ“ Precision: Floats have limited precision. Be aware of potential rounding errors. โž• Mixing Types: When you perform operations with an integer and a float, the result is always a float. ๐Ÿงช Scientific Notation: Floats can be expressed in scientific notation (e.g., $1.23e2$ which equals 123.0). โž— Division: The division operator `/` always returns a float, even if the operands are integers.
