Creating a float
Before we start looking for Bayes' kidnapper, we need to fill out a Missing Puppy Report with details of the case. Each piece of information will be stored as a variable.
We define a variable using an equals sign (=). For instance, we would define the variable height:
height = 24
In this exercise, we'll be defining bayes_age to be 4.0 months old. The data type for this variable will be float, meaning that it is a number.
