Float variable type

This might be kinda clunky to implement, but is definitely needed.
One approach could be to specify the size of a float value as length+1, with the last digit used for placement of the decimal. So to store the number 3.14
, you would set variable size to 4
and the last digit would be 1
(decimal after the first digit).
So if the float
variable type was type 4
, the full statement would look like:
Begin creating variable
/ Set Var ID to 1
| / Set var Type to 4 (float)
| | / Set var Size to 4
| | | / Insert 3
| | | | / Insert 1
| | | | | / Insert 4
| | | | | | / Insert 1 (set decimal after first digit)
| | | | | | | /
