##### `m.room.power_levels` events accept values as floats 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`. Values outside the range represented by IEE754 binary64 (a "double") cause the powerlevel event to be rejected, as do `Infinity`, `-Infinity` and `NaN`. For example, this is a valid `m.room.power_levels` event in this room version: ```json { "content": { "ban": 50, "events": { "m.room.power_levels": 100 }, "events_default": 0, "state_default": 50, "users": { "@example:example.org": 100, "@alice:localhost": 50, "@bob:localhost": 50.57 }, "users_default": 0 }, "origin_server_ts": 1432735824653, "room_id": "!jEsUZKDJdhlrceRyVU:example.org", "sender": "@example:example.org", "state_key": "", "type": "m.room.power_levels" } ``` In this example, both `@bob:localhost` and `@alice:localhost` have the same effective power level of `50`, even though the values are technically different. 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.
