Most (probably nearly all) C implementations use binary floating-point.
The standard permits other bases, which is why FLT_RADIX exists.
Some IBM mainframe systems use base 16 -- which has most of the
characteristics of binary, but the precision fluctuates more depending
on the exponent value. Base 10 floating-point is not unheard of.
