pascal float
In Pascal, the float
data type represents floating-point numbers, which are numbers that can have decimal places. This data type is used to store real numbers in Pascal and allows for calculations involving fractional values. You can declare a variable of type float
using the real
keyword.
Here is an example of declaring and using a float
variable in Pascal:
program FloatExample;
var
myFloat: float;
begin
myFloat := 3.14;
writeln('The value of myFloat is: ', myFloat);
end.
In this example, we declare a variable myFloat
of type float
and assign it the value 3.14
. We then use the writeln
procedure to output the value of myFloat
to the console. The output will be: "The value of myFloat is: 3.14".
You can perform arithmetic operations on float
variables, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Here is an example that demonstrates some basic arithmetic operations:
program FloatArithmetic;
var
num1, num2, sum, difference, product, quotient: float;
begin
num1 := 5.5;
num2 := 2.5;
sum := num1 + num2;
difference := num1 - num2;
product := num1 * num2;
quotient := num1 / num2;
writeln('Sum: ', sum);
writeln('Difference: ', difference);
writeln('Product: ', product);
writeln('Quotient: ', quotient);
end.
In this example, we declare variables num1
, num2
, sum
, difference
, product
, and quotient
of type float
. We assign values to num1
and num2
and then perform various arithmetic operations on them. The results are then printed to the console.
