# Example Python program that uses built-in
# function float() to create floating point numbers
# from integer, string and floating point values

import sys

# Create a floating point number from an integer
fval = float(10)
print(fval)

# Create a floating point number from a string
fval = float("3.14")
print(fval)

# Add (upto) 1e291 beyond the maximum value supported by the system
fval = float(sys.float_info.max + float(1e291))

# No effect
print(fval)

# Add 1e292 beyond the maximum value supported by the system
fval = float(sys.float_info.max + float(1e292))

# Results an inf
print(fval)
