Since there is so much interest on HN in floats lately and their software implementations, I wanted to show mine. It has no use and is just for teaching me floats and C++. Give me your thoughts.

How does this compare to Boost.Multiprecision, which works well with Boost.Math?

My type is a bit simpler. But I think the approach is the same. After all, boost's type has much more math functions implemented. I don't have exp, sqrt...
