Multiply by one hundred & convert to integer. Convert the integer back to
float and divide by one hundred.
Or you can invent a fixed point type with appropriate precision and do some
type conversions. Depends a lot on what sort of features you need the
numbers to have....
You can also find lots of help doing things like rounding, truncation,
floor, ceiling, etc., by looking in the "Annex K: Language-Defined
Attributes" in the ARM.
