Float type[edit]

A floating point value.

Floats are also used to store booleans (TRUE, FALSE) or integer values linke counters, or bit flags.

   Valid syntax: 12, 1.6, 0.5, -100  
   Invalid syntax: .5

A parsing ambiguity is present with negative constants. "a-5" will be parsed as "a", then "-5", causing an error. Separate the - from the digits with a space "a - 5" to get the proper behavior.
