  It's not THE float function, it's A float function.

  It's any function returning a float value. For example: sin(), cos(),
strlen(), etc.

  With the colors at least. I don't remember if there's any other place where
the 4th and 5th components have a meaning.

: Thanks. I didn't know that. 

  For example, if you set the color of a light source larger than 1, it will
be brighter. It may also have some effect on things like fog, media, etc.
