\b;Type \c;float\n;
Use this type for most variables that contains numbers. Variables of this type can contain positive and negative numbers, whole or real numbers, for example:
\c;
\s; 12.9
\s; 1.125
\s; 0.002
\s; -4.1
\n;
If you need only whole numbers (f. ex. 12 or -5000), you should rather use the type \c;\l;int\u cbot\int;\n;.
\t;Attention
Do not insert space or colon characters into a number. To separate the whole part from the fractional part, use a dot.

\s;12895.69 12,895.69
