Comment Comment by John23832 Int64 wouldn't work because it's not floating point. You'd need to store the base and the mantissa separately for calculation.However there are languages that are looking at F128 (https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/3453-f16-and-f128.html). The problem is that there isn't really hardware support for them yet so you'd do it through software. parent John23832 2 years ago
