Finally, we printed the value of `float_number`, displaying the converted floating point number 3.14.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that if the string being converted cannot be parsed as a valid float, for example if it contains non-numeric characters or multiple decimal points, the `float()` function will raise a `ValueError` exception.
