What does a number with suffix # mean?

Hi,

I record a macro when drawing a eclipse, and it gives the following
code. I am wondering why some numbers are suffixed by # while others
not.

ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddShape(msoShapeOval, 400.25, 36#, 129#,
44.25).Select

Thanks,
lvcha

The # suffix specifies that data type is Double.
