The number is in seconds but may be a floating point value.

刷新时间的单位为秒，但可能是浮点值。

Here I actually need to tell the computer, "Give me some bytes in ram in which to store a value, and that value's going to be a floating point value."

这里我的确需要告诉计算机，“给我一些字节内存，来存储一个值，那个值将是，浮点型的数值。”

Note that, following the paradigm of the DB2 Spatial Extender, the offset is subtracted from the floating point value before the scale factor is multiplied in.

注意，按照DB 2 Spatial Extender范例，在乘上比例系数之前，浮点值要减去偏移量。

C So here I'm declaring a variable called c, and I'm pretty much translating the formula from the slide using the characters on my keyboard to a floating point value.

这里我声明了一个变量，然后我把那个幻灯片上的公式,用键盘上的字符翻译成了,浮点数值。

It just throws the decimal point away and that's because, again, these are ints and the answer intuitively should be a floating point value, but I need to be more specific.

它直接把小数点后面的数值丢弃掉了，因为，凭直觉，那些整型数和结果应该是一个浮点数据,但是我需要一个更精确的数值。

So what that means is the compiler is actually going to first "cast" so to speak 13 from whatever it is - to a float -- to a floating point value -- and then perform the division for us.

所以这里的意思是编译器将,做“计算“，譬如13这样一个浮点数,-到另一个浮点数-,然后为我们处理除法。
