There are two floating point types in Go+, float32 and float64 Floating point literals have a default type of float64.

A floating-point number cannot represent a decimal value exactly. Do not use them to represent money or any other value that must have an exact decimal representation!

While you can use == and != to compare floats, don’t do it. Due to the inexact nature of floats, two floating point values might not be equal when you think they should be. Instead, define a minimum allowed variance and see if the difference between two floats is less than that. This minimum value (sometimes called epsilon) depends on what your accuracy needs are;

Float literals can also be declared as a power of ten and dividing a float variable set to 0 by 0 returns NaN (Not a Number).
