+<p>
+ Gleam's <code>Float</code> type represents numbers that are not integers.
+</p>
+<p>
+ Unlike many languages Gleam does not have a `NaN` or `Infinity` float value.
+</p>
+<p>
+ Gleam's numerical operators are not overloaded, so there are dedictated
+ operators for working with floats.
+</p>
+<p>
+ Floats are represented as 64 bit floating point numbers on both Erlang and
+ JavaScript runtimes.
+</p>
+<p>
+ The <a href="https://hexdocs.pm/gleam_stdlib/gleam/float.html"><code>gleam/float</code></a>
+ standard library module contains functions for working with floats.
