I will of course implement fractionals/decimal points for all bases. But they will not be stored as floats but integers in an array. I have no intention implement storage structure and datatype until i get arithmetic and baseconversion in anybase. But it seem one type do not fit all bases.

Who knows maybe i skip decimals and their eqivalent in other bases, and go for partitioning into sums of fractions to do arithmeric upon. That i way i keep it exact and do not lose digiplaces. But of course for input i must make a decimal to fraction converter
