I keep on seeing things, flaot values, being assigned in default propeties or otherwise to values like


10.f

or

64.32f


WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THIS DAMN F DOING THERE!

in order for floats to be floats (in code) they have to have a decimal. when programmers get lazy, they write 10.f and that casts to a float. there are probably more. in java this is the normal way to cast to a float.
