##### `m.room.power_levels` events accept values as floats
When the value is a float, anything after the decimal point is removed,
making e.g. `5.17`, `5.42`, and `5` functionally identical.
When the value is a float
* First, exponential notation is applied: `5.114698E4` becomes `51146.98`
* Second, the value is truncated at the decimal point: `51146.98` becomes `51146`.
Any float greater than or equal to `1e309` must result in the powerlevel event
being rejected.
For example, this is a valid `m.room.power_levels` event in this room version:

In this example, both `@bob:localhost` and `@alice:localhost` have the same effective
power level of `50`, even though the values are technically different.
When a float written in exponential notation is unpacked, the decimal portion is removed
afterward; for example, `5.114698E4` becomes `51146.98`, which is then truncated to `51146`.
Note that, since this room version does not enforce that events comply with the requirements
of [Canonical JSON](/appendices#canonical-json), power levels can be formatted as floats.
