# Description
We made the decision that our floating point type should be referred to
as `float` over `decimal`.
Commands were updated by #9979 and #10320
Now make the internal codebase consistent in referring to this data type
as `float`.
Work for #10332
# User-Facing Changes
`decimal` has been removed as a type name/symbol.
Instead of
```nushell
def foo [bar: decimal] decimal -> decimal {}
```
use
```nushell
def foo [bar: float] float -> float {}
```
Potential effect of `SyntaxShape`'s `Display` implementation now also
referring to `float` instead of `decimal`
# Details
- Rename `SyntaxShape::Decimal` to `Float`
- Update `Display for SyntaxShape` to `float`
- Update error message + fn name in dataframe code
- Fix docs in command examples
- Rename tests that are float specific
- Update doccomment on `SyntaxShape`
- Update comment in script
# Tests + Formatting
Updates the names of some tests
# Description
We keep "into decimal" for a release and warn through a message that it
will be removed in 0.86.
All tests are updated to use `into float`
# User-Facing Changes
`into decimal` raises a deprecation warning, will be removed soon.
Use `into float` as the new functionally identical command instead.
