float

MudOS LPC now provides support for the floating point type. Declare variables like this:

float pi;

In general the same operations are supported for floats as are for integers. Float literals are written with a decimal point, a trailing dot, or exponent notation (with or without a fraction), and digits may be grouped with _ separators:

pi = 3.14159265;
x = 1.;          // 1.0
big = 2.5e6;     // 2500000.0
tiny = 2.5e-3;   // 0.0025
k = 1_000.25;

Note that casts do not convert values — use to_float() / to_int() to convert between floats and integers.

The LPC float type is a C double: about fifteen (15) significant decimal digits.
