     3  > Floating point number (primitive)
     4  
     5  ## Description
     6  
     7  Any number. To be precise, a full set of all IEEE-754 64-bit floating-point
     8  numbers.

    10  > This data-type is going to be deprecated in favour of `num` (since it is
    11  > literally the same underlying data-type anyway). Please do not use `float`
