Integers with implied decimals is the way to go.
- sifoobar 8y agoI used to tell myself that our company was the exception. But in 30 years, I have yet to come across a piece of corporate software that's not crap. Established companies, consultants, startups; all crap. Different kinds of crap, it's not all rounding errors; but none of it would survive in most open source projects. Because quality is only an issue as far as it increases short term profits, and that's not a very successful heuristic for writing good software.
