A new floating point format

Name: Anonymous 2017-07-02 5:54

Can express numbers from ~ 2^(2^(10^-308)) to 2^(2^(10^308))

I've just published the idea. Its not even a real spec.
Its just that you can have floating point exponents, instead of integers.

Actually precision rises with lower float_exp.
Its only when you can't represent the exponent as integer(i.e. double/float start to skip integers)
then the precision start to take a hit, but unlike float you can adjust the mantissa.
Adjusting the mantissa adds extra precision, but will take some computation cost.
