real world values (thus floating points)

What is more "real" about float than fix?

Erik


"When the critical reactor temperature number is smaller than 43398 make sure you press the RED button, else if its bigger than 2316159, press the green one"

...or

"If its smaller than 120.35 press red,else of its bigger than 648.2 press the green."

Convenience. Ease of debugging. Development speed.Enhanced data confidence.
