|
A parameter for floating-point values (stored in the ``Decimal`` type).
|
|
|
|
Python Decimal type helps overcome problems tied to plain "float" type,
|
|
e.g. problem with representation or value comparison. In order to safely
|
|
transfer the value over RPC libraries, it is being converted to string
|
|
which is then converted back to Decimal number.
