The **`float()` method** in Python produces a floating-point number from a string or an integer.

# Syntax
This method is declared as follows:


# Parameter and return value
The `float()` method takes only one parameter, which is optional. This parameter can be a string or an integer. 

The return value is a floating-point number. If a string needs to be passed in the `float()` method, it must constitute all numeric characters in it. In the case of no parameter, it returns 0.

# Example
In the example below, for integers and strings with numeric characters, the `float()` method returns floating-point numbers. With non-numeric strings, this method raises an error.

#No parameter
print (float())

# Integer
print (float(10))

# String
print(float("13.33"))

# String with numeric characters and no decimal point
print(float("17"))
