Why would you want floating point? It works good for numbers but not things for not number errrr we call them real numbers. Pi is hard as is sin cos tan,really anything that can't be written as a/b can be hard and you need to truncate. So nothing that goes on forever. From what im reading you need a list of real numbers to tell the pc what it is, there is a infinite amount of real numbers, so it hard to make a complete list.
