What is the significance of f0
in the following:
julia> 1.25f3
1250.0f0
What is the difference with 1.25 e3
which means 1.25 * 10^3
?
I looked for in the documentation, but I did not find it...

That is a very old manual you are reading, take a look at this section instead: https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/integers-and-floating-point-numbers/ . The TL;DR is that with f
you get Float32
(single precision) and with e
you get Float64
(double precision):
julia> typeof(1.25f3)
Float32
julia> typeof(1.25e3)
Float64
