defining bins (minor)

[AugustinVintzileos]

We need to type the bins in the format 0.5. Typing .5 is creating an error message.

I think the advantage of using 0.5 over .5 is more clear when you consider negative floating-point numbers. For example, using -0.5 is more common than -.5.

Maybe state the format near this entry because there are many people used to type -.5 instead -0.5. I guess an error message indicating the correct format would be enough.
