#110884 - Floating point
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Neil Kurzman said:
Make sure you need floating point.

That is to say, use floating point if and only if there is really no other way to do it.

eg, if you need to add $1.05 and $3.57 you do not need floating point - you simply do the whole thing in integer values of cents!

For another example, see http://www.8052.com/forum/read.phtml?id=108347
