Problem statement
Given a numeric value (an integer or a float), convert it to a float and return the result. Do not print the result; return it from the function. The function should work for positive, negative, and zero values. Use Python's built-in conversion, and ensure the returned value is of float type.
Task
Write a function that takes a numeric input (int or float) and returns its float representation.
Examples
Float input stays float
Input
create_float(3.7)
Output
3.7
A float input should be returned as the same float value.
Input format
A single numeric argument (int or float) is passed to the function create_float(value).
Output format
Return a float corresponding to the input value.
Constraints
Do not print. Use the float conversion. The input will be a valid int or float.
Samples
