5.3.11 .float value₁[, ..., value_n]

Assembles one or more single-precision (32-bit) floating-point constants into consecutive addresses in little-endian format.

If in a code (executable) section on dsPIC33C/E/F architectures, the upper program memory byte will be filled with the last .fillupper value specified or the NOP opcode (0x00) if no .fillupper has been specified.

Floating point numbers are in IEEE format (see Floating-Point Numbers).

The following statements are equivalent:

.float 12345.67
.float 1.234567e4
.float 1.234567e04
.float 1.234567e+04
.float 1.234567E4
.float 1.234567E04
.float 1.234567E+04

It is also possible to specify the hexadecimal encoding of a floating-point constant. The following statements are equivalent and encode the value 12345.67 as a 32-bit double-precision number:

.float 0e:4640E6AE
.float 0f:4640E6AE
.float 0d:4640E6AE
