Floating points are absurd. It helps the scientific community and slows us down to solve interesting frictionless problems.
Floating points take too much computation power. The amount of power we spend for floating point math and return on knowledge gained doesn't make sense.
A: Hey, but floating points are main thing in scientific problems.
Me: Ignore scientific problems, it doesn't amount to nothing and scientific problems doesn't bring a smile on face. By the time we solve, we would have lost our sense of self. And that's why it is meaningless.
A: What do you propose? Me: Not proposing anything. Just putting my thoughts out. Chase only whole numbers. Even try to cut out division. It is the root cause of all the problems.
Me: Addition makes sense, Multiplication makes sense. Subtraction doesn't make sense. It is used to check the correctness not for real math. You may call, just like multiplication is repeated addition, division is repeated subtraction. I'll stop right there. Division gives two answers - reminder and a quotient. Both are useless.
