Equivalent to C's `float` type. This type will almost always be [`f32`], which is guaranteed to be an [IEEE 754 single-precision float] in Rust. That said, the standard technically only guarantees that it be a floating-point number, and it may have less precision than `f32` or not follow the IEEE-754 standard at all.
