# Disallow Floating Decimals (no-floating-decimal)
Float values in JavaScript contain a decimal point, and there is no requirement that the decimal point be preceded or followed by a number. For example, the following are all valid JavaScript numbers:
```js
var num = .5;
var num = 2.;
var num = -.7;
```
Although not a syntax error, this format for numbers can make it difficult to distinguish between true decimal numbers and the dot operator. For this reason, some recommend that you should always include a number before and after a decimal point to make it clear the intent is to create a decimal number.
## Rule Details
This rule is aimed at eliminating floating decimal points and will warn whenever a numeric value has a decimal point but is missing a number either before or after it.
Examples of **incorrect** code for this rule:
```js
/*eslint no-floating-decimal: "error"*/
var num = .5;
var num = 2.;
var num = -.7;
```
Examples of **correct** code for this rule:
```js
/*eslint no-floating-decimal: "error"*/
var num = 0.5;
var num = 2.0;
var num = -0.7;
```
## When Not To Use It
If you aren't concerned about misinterpreting floating decimal point values, then you can safely turn this rule off.
