"Use dir() on float_a = 1.2" I am unsure how to do this. :(

This was on the Ints & Floats quiz.

I am unsure how to make a float and then use dir() ?

dir just needs an instance or a type. So you can call it in a lot of different ways:

float_a = 1.2

# All these calls will result in the same information
dir(1.2)
dir(float)
dir(float_a)
