@neauoire What number representation is used here? It looks like the display format is integer part plus fraction. Are the individual component regular machine words or bignums?

@neauoire So that's what they are called. But what's the whole number in memory? Like, what's the biggest number it can represent, and what happens in case of an overflow? @csepp it's really rare that I noodling around with numbers higher than 60 thousands, but I might add a warning or something at some point if that starts bothering me. |
@csepp A mixed fraction is a whole number and a portion less than 1 together, like 2 3/4.
