[float] float([int] x)
x is a numeric value.
float() returns x cast to a float.
// Outputs "float(x) = 47.0000000".
var x = 47;
var a = float(x);
println("float(x) = ",a);
// Casting a variable to a float is needed if both
// variables in a division are integers.
//
// Outputs "int: 0 float: 0.571428571".
var x = 4;
var y = 7;
var a = x/y;
var b = float(x)/float(y);
println("int: ",a," float: ",b");
