Some may disagree, but for a certain category of mathematical problemselCommunityServer 2.1 SP3 (Build: 20423.1)https://www.dotnetzone.gr:443/cs/blogs/jajaja/archive/2009/03/30/hybrid-arithmetic-types-how-to-increase-computational-accuracy-and-range-in-a-diy-approach.aspx#49713Tue, 31 Mar 2009 05:00:46 GMT2622095e-976c-431a-859e-16783ec7ecd7:49713Dimitris Papadimitriou<p>This is very interesting!</p> <p>There is something you can do to avoid casting on assignment. You need to use implicit operator.

For example, float was left out. Everyone can modify it freely acording to his/her needs (DIY). Another modification might be to create a struct instead of a class. In fact, the use of a struct might be more appropriate. I leave all those decisions to the user. I only wanted to present the idea.</p>
