What does the "f" represent after a float?

Hi,

Im confused to why we have to add an f after each float. 

void start() {
     flySpeed = random.range(300f, 700f);
}

:point_right: The "f" just causes the literal value to be handled as a float type. You could also do it by casting:

     flySpeed = random.range((float)300, (float)700);
