+<h2>Syntax</h2>
+
+<dl>
+<dt>(floatp <i>expr</i>)</dt>
+<dd><i>expr</i> - the expression to check<br>
+returns - <a href="t.htm">&nbsp;T&nbsp;</a> if the value is a
+floating point number, <a href="nil.htm">NIL</a> otherwise</dd>
+</dl>
+
+<h2>Description</h2>
+
+<p>The 'floatp' predicate function checks if an 'expr' is a floating point
+number. <a href="t.htm">&nbsp;T&nbsp;</a> is returned if 'expr'
+is a floating point number, <a href="nil.htm">NIL</a> is returned
+otherwise.</p>
+
+<h2>Examples</h2>
+
+<pre class="example">
+(floatp 1.2) <font color="#008844">; returns T - float</font>
+(floatp '1.2) <font color="#008844">; returns T - still a float</font>
+(setq a 1.234)
+(floatp a) <font color="#008844">; returns T - evaluates to float</font>
+(floatp 0.0) <font color="#008844">; returns T - float zero</font>
+(floatp 0) <font color="#008844">; returns NIL - integer zero</font>
+(floatp 1) <font color="#008844">; returns NIL - integer</font>
+(floatp #x034) <font color="#008844">; returns NIL - integer readmacro</font>
+(floatp 'a) <font color="#008844">; returns NIL - symbol</font>
+(floatp #\a) <font color="#008844">; returns NIL - character</font>
+(floatp NIL) <font color="#008844">; returns NIL - NIL</font>
+(floatp #(0 1 2)) <font color="#008844">; returns NIL - array</font>
