In computers, we have floating point math and integer math.
It is interesting that no one has done fractional math yet.
It would be a very big advantage for certain problem types.

But i also remember the days when we had an entire separate chip to do math coprocessing.
and it was mostly just a processor with registers that held floating point numbers.

And your example is why i still like C and like typed values.

To many of the modern languages will just convert types on the fly, but i really hate that, i would wish a warning about changing types.
