Hey, just wondering - I've seen numbers like 1.0f in examples and in books, but what does the 'f' mean? Does it just mean that the number is a floating point number? And does including/excluding it change anything?

Even if the variable's datatype is a float? like if i were to do float fNumber = 5; , it would think that 5 is a double?
