How do I use floating point number literals when using generic types?

by

Use the FromPrimitive trait:

use num_traits::{cast::FromPrimitive, float::Float};

fn scale_float<T: Float + FromPrimitive>(x: T) -> T {
    x * T::from_f64(0.54).unwrap()
}

Or the standard library From / Into traits

fn scale_float<T>(x: T) -> T
where
    T: Float,
    f64: Into<T>
{
    x * 0.54.into()
}
