Re: printing FLOAT data type on the terminal window

For the same exponent, which is what you'll get when you align float exponents for math operations, you only have 24 bits to represent your number. Longs are 32 bits. Using fixed point arithematic with longs is more precise than using floats as longs have 8 more bits of data than floats.
