--description--
We can store decimal numbers in variables too. Decimal numbers are sometimes referred to as floating point numbers or floats.
Note: when you compute numbers, they are computed with finite precision. Operations using floating points may lead to different results than the desired outcome. If you are getting one of these results, open a topic on the freeCodeCamp forum.
--instructions--
Create a variable myDecimal
and give it a decimal value with a fractional part (e.g. 5.7
).
--hints--
myDecimal
should be a number.
assert(typeof myDecimal === 'number');
myDecimal
should have a decimal point
assert(myDecimal % 1 != 0);
--seed--
--after-user-code--
(function(){if(typeof myDecimal !== "undefined"){return myDecimal;}})();
--seed-contents--
const ourDecimal = 5.7;
// Only change code below this line
--solutions--
const myDecimal = 9.9;
