-=====
-
-.. TODO move all the useful examples over to arduino/double.rst. We
-.. want to discourage using floats, since most of the common cmath
-.. functions are only declared with doubles.

-Description
------------
-
-Single-precision floating point number. ``float`` values can be as
-large as 3.4028235E+38 and as low as -3.4028235E+38. They are stored
-as 32 bits (4 bytes) of information.
-
-``float``\ s have only 6-7 decimal digits of precision. That means the total
-number of digits, not the number to the right of the decimal point.
-You can get more precision by using a :ref:`double <arduino-double>`
-(which has a precision of about 16 decimal digits).
-
-The following example declares a ``float`` value named ``myfloat``::
-
- float myfloat;
-
-This example declares a ``float`` value named ``sensorCalibrate``,
-with value 1.117::
-
- float sensorCalibrate = 1.117;
-
-The general syntax for declaring a float named ``var`` with value
-``val`` is::
-
- float var = val;
-
-Here is a more extended example involving a :ref:`float cast
-<arduino-floatcast>`::
-
- int x;
- int y;
- float z;
-
- x = 1;
- y = x / 2; // y now contains 0, ints can't hold fractions
- z = float(x) / 2; // z now contains .5
