Float

Block “float” is used to define a constant of the float type.

Float values can be used in comparisons in logic operations.

In case a float value is stored in a database, it is not directly stored under a specified key name which always stores string representation, but a special key name is created with value representation. Such key name is created as original_key@float. Therefore, for accessing float value retrieved from database, float key name has to be used.
