Does Solidity supports floating point number

Question

I am new in solidity language. Have seen their documentation. Is there any floating point data type ?

Solution 1

There is no floating point in Solidity. You should keep numbers in whole number format.

You can place decimal place in your front-end code. Take a look at how ERC20 contract was designed.

Solution 2

There is no native support for floating-point numbers in the core language, but they are available via libraries, such as ABDKMathQuad.

[Pro Q]

Unfortunately the library you link to looks like it's under copyright, so it cannot be used.
