float variableName = value;
so to create one named radius with a value of 14.5:
float radius = 14.5;

If you go back to the variables video Douglass has a float variable on the screen, that is what the challenge is asking for but using the value of 14.5 instead.

694 PointsThis is what I put for the code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int days_in_a_week = 7;
float cm_to_in = 2.54;
float radius = 14.5;
char the_w;
the_w = 'W';
printf("%d days in a week. \n", days_in_a_week);
printf("%f cm per in.\n", cm_to_in);
printf("The %c is a cool hotel\n", the_w);
return 0;
}
