.Ss Fixed‐point Expressions
Fixed-point numbers are basically normal (32-bit) integers, which count 65536th's instead of entire units, offering better precision than integers but limiting the range of values.
The upper 16 bits are used for the integer part and the lower 16 bits are used for the fraction (65536ths).
