use the fmt package to print a value of type float in go

To print a value of type float in Go using the fmt package, you can use the %f verb in a Printf statement to format the float with decimal places.

Here's an example code snippet:

main.go
package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    value := 3.14159
    fmt.Printf("The value is: %f\n", value)
}
109 chars
9 lines

This will output:

main.go
The value is: 3.141590
23 chars
2 lines

You can specify the number of decimal places to include by using the %.<number>f verb, where <number> is the number of decimal places you want to include.

For example:

main.go
package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    value := 3.14159
    fmt.Printf("The value is: %.2f\n", value)
}
111 chars
9 lines

This will output:

main.go
The value is: 3.14
19 chars
2 lines

In this example, we specified that we wanted to include 2 decimal places by using the %.<number>f verb.
