Integers Floats. Integers and floats are two different kinds of numerical data. An integer (more commonly called an int) is a number without a decimal point. A float is a floating-point number, which means it is a number that has a decimal place. Floats are used when more precision is needed.

  
   
  int a = 0;      // Create a variable "a" of the datatype "int"
  float b = 0.0;  // Create a variable "b" of the datatype "float"
  
  void setup()
  {
    size(200, 200);
    stroke(255);
    frameRate(30);
  }
  
  void draw()
  {
    background(51);
    
    a = a + 1;
    b = b + 0.2; 
    line(a, 0, a, height/2);
    line(b, height/2, b, height);
    
    if(a > width) {
      a = 0;
    }
    if(b > width) {
      b = 0;
    }
  }
