decimal number
Has a dot
A decimal number is a number written in base-10 notation, the standard system using digits 0–9 where each position represents a power of ten.
More commonly, the term refers specifically to numbers containing a decimal point: Pi is approximately 3.14159, a decimal number with infinite digits.
In this narrower sense, decimal numbers contrast with whole numbers or integers.
