C#/.NET has the built-in decimal type which is technically floating point, but it has a 96-bit mantissa and a base-10 exponent which makes it behave similarly to fixed point numbers.

The same type existed in classic Visual Basic as well. It's part of the set of basic COM types in Windows.

C#'s decimal has the strange property that it can be a constant (with `const`), but it cannot be a parameter in a custom attribute. It is magical like that.
