# print out floats in decimal
# https://research.swtch.com/ftoa
#
# Basic idea:
#   Ignoring sign, floating point numbers are represented as 1.mantissa * 2^exponent
#   Therefore, to print a float in decimal, we need to:
#     - compute its value without decimal point
#     - convert to an array of decimal digits
#     - print out the array while inserting the decimal point appropriately
#
# Basic complication: the computation generates numbers larger than an int can
# hold. We need a way to represent big ints.
#
# Key insight: use a representation for big ints that's close to what we need
# anyway, an array of decimal digits.
#
# Style note: we aren't creating a big int library here. The only operations
# we need are halving and doubling. Following the link above, it seems more
# comprehensible to keep these operations inlined so that we can track the
# position of the decimal point with dispatch.
#
# This approach turns out to be fast enough for most purposes.
# Optimizations, however, get wildly more complex.
