Courses Plus Student 11,071 Points10 is basically shorthand for 10.0 when used with floating point types. So the following is valid code
var floatingPointType: Double = 0.1 // 0.1
floatingPointType += 10 // 10.1
It does not work the other way round, however
var integerType: Int = 1
integerType += 0.1 // Error
