Bah! We don't need no stinkin floating point. Here are a few approximations
to real and transcendental numbers that you can make by dividing
signed integers - the error is gennerally less that 1 in 1,000,000
pi 355 /113
sqrt(2) 19601 / 13860
e 28667 / 10546
c 24559 / 8192
By the way, there's a discussion on fixed point mathi in my pbForth chapters
in the new Extreme Mindstorms book. And I think Luis has some info on
floats using legOS
