both numbers aren't ints. the first is obviously "173.0", not "173".
more convoluted sample: is "1000e-3" represents "1" or "1.0"?

for all my scripting languages where having separated ints and floats
makes any sense, i'm using this rules:
1. number with point in it is always float.
2. number with negative exponent is always float.
