You'll have to do it the hard way unfortunately. I used an IEEE-754 floating point calculator to figure this out.

If you don't have a floating-point unit, floats aren't of very much use. The most portable way to declare float literals is also the most tedious: by storing their hexadecimal representation as data.

Real literals contain decimal point. The exponent part is optional. Underline may be used to separate groups of digits. A literal does not have sign, + or - are unary operations. Examples of real literals:

With the One True Awk ([[nawk]]), all numbers are floating-point. A numeric literal consists of one or more digits '0-9', with an optional decimal point '.', followed by an optional exponent. The exponent is a letter 'E' or 'e', then an optional '+' or '-' sign, then one or more digits '0-9'.

A leading plus or minus sign (as in <tt>+23</tt> or <tt>-14</tt>) is not part of the literal; it is a unary operator. This is easy to check if you know that exponentiation has a higher precedence than unary minus; <tt>-14 ** 2</tt> acts like <tt>-(14 ** 2)</tt>, not like <tt>(-14) ** 2</tt>.

There are two floating point types: Double (64 bits) and Float (32 bits). The default floating point type is Double.
Double literals must end with a decimal point with at least one digit after it, and/or a scientific notation suffix made with <code>e</code> (or <code>E</code>) followed by an integer literal.
A Float literal is made by appending <code>f</code> (or <code>F</code>) to a Double or Int literal (see [[Literals/Integer#Kotlin|integer literals]]).

Ultimately it depends on the assembler, however, it's standard to allow simple expressions like "2.5". Since MIPS uses a floating-point coprocessor with separate registers, the assembler understands that you're trying to load a float into the register rather than an integer, and so the assembler will calculate the IEEE-754 hexadecimal representation for you.
<syntaxhighlight lang="mips">li.s f0,2.5 ;loads the single-precision float 2.5 (0x40200000) into register f0</syntaxhighlight>
Defining literal float data in your code also depends on the assembler. If all else fails, you can use a calculator to get the IEEE-754 hexadecimal representation of the desired float and store it as an "integer."

Quackery does not support floating point, but it runs on top of Python, which does. So we can reach down into Python and pass floating point numbers back and forth. Here is a cheap but effective way of doing so. We will represent floating point numbers in Quackery as strings. The task requirements are fulfilled by [[Literals/Floating point#Python|the Python entry]].
<code>isfloat</code> conforms that a string is a float by asking Python to validate it.
<code>f</code> adds a sprinkle of syntactic sugar to the Quackery compiler so we can say <code>f 0.5</code> rather that <code>$ "0.5"</code>. (Builders – words defined with <code>builds</code> rather than <code>is</code> – are extensions to the Quackery compiler.)
<code>sin</code>returns the sine of an angle expressed in radians, so that we can demonstrate usage of <code>f</code> here.

Floating point numbers (the Num type) are written in the standard 'e' scientific notation:
<syntaxhighlight lang="raku"
6.02e23
-2e48

A number like <tt>3.1416</tt> is specifically not floating point, but rational (the Rat type), equivalent to <tt>3927/1250</tt>. On the other hand, <tt>Num(3.1416)</tt> would be considered a floating literal though by virtue of mandatory constant folding.

All values in REXX are character strings, so a value could hold such things as these (decimal) numbers:
<
something = '127' /*exactly the same as the above. */
something = 1.27e2
something = 1.27E2
something = 1.27E+2
something = ' + 0001.27e+00000000000000002 '</
To forcibly express a value in exponential notation, REXX has a built-in function '''format''' that can be used.

by the '''format''' BIF.

=={{header|RPL}}==
Floating point numbers exist only in decimal format. They can be entered using the scientific format: <code>3.1416E2</code> is equivalent to <code>314.16</code>.
Display can be forced to <code>SCI</code>entific or "<code>ENG</code>ineering" format (the exponent being a multiple of 3), with a defined number of digits after the decimal point of the mantissa:
1: { 123.45 0.012345 }
3 SCI
1: { 1.235E+02 1.245E-02 }

=={{header|Seed7}}==
The type [http://seed7.sourceforge.net/libraries/float.htm float] consists of single precision floating point numbers. Float literals are base 10 and contain a decimal point. There must be at least one digit before and after the decimal point. An exponent part, which is introduced with E or e, is optional. The exponent can be signed, but the mantissa is not. A literal does not have a sign, + or - are unary operations. Examples of float literals are:
<
3.14159265358979

0.1234

The functions [http://seed7.sourceforge.net/libraries/float.htm#str%28ref_float%29 str] and the operators [http://seed7.sourceforge.net/libraries/float.htm#%28ref_float%29digits%28ref_integer%29 digits] and [http://seed7.sourceforge.net/libraries/float.htm#%28attr_float%29parse%28in_string%29 parse] create and accept float literals with sign.
