Can you explain what a fractional value in Python means?

In Python, a fractional value is a number with a floating-point (float), used to represent numbers with a decimal part. For example, 3.14, -0.001, 2.0 — all of these are fractional values. They are stored in floating-point format, which allows working with very large or very small numbers, but with limited precision.

Example usage:

x = 5.75
print(type(x))  # <class 'float'>

Fractional values are useful when working with measurements, percentages, financial calculations, and other quantities where the decimal part is important.
