Dear all,
just a silly curiosity about decimal fixed point types, e.g.,
type Euro is delta 0.01 digits 20;
-- Would be 20 enough? :-)
Are they currently used? Where? Since most of the examples are about money (mine and RM's) included, I guess that they were thought for financial applications, but I am unsure if nowadays financial software uses this type of types or just floating point.
Best regards
Riccardo
