@0xabad1dea A quibble: floating point numbers give exact values for addition, multiplication and subtraction involving integers if the results aren't too large.

In 32-bit floating point, you can exactly represent all integers up to 16,777,217.

> You should never, ever use floats for things like money

You can't do things like compound interest and mortgage payments with integer arithmetic! 😁
