[cpprest] number type with unspecified format build fails

[murzic4]

Description

Hi
Few days ago I faced issue that swagger-codegen doesn't correctly generate cpprest code for type "number" with no format specified and type "string" format "uuid".
today I have checked with the last release (swagger-codegen-cli-2.3.1.jar) and it looks like that issue with uuid is solved, but the problem with "number" is still exist

Swagger-codegen version

2.3.1

Swagger declaration file content or url

yaml file attached to the ticket (echo.yaml.log) , the issue with the code generated for the following description:

 - name: some_number
          in: query
          type: number
          required: true

Command line used for generation

java -jar swagger-codegen-cli.jar generate -l cpprest -o ./out -i ./echo.yaml

Steps to reproduce

to execute command above for the yaml file echo.yaml.log
