Fixed point decimal for one.
I don't think core C has a such a concept. I'm pretty sure that the
early versions of Java didn't have such a concept either. In fact, the
support it currently has are not native implementations ... they are
Objects (BigDecimal).
A float data type is inappropriate in most financial applications
(unless you specifically need a float data type), as they can be
inaccurate (see
