Two 32-bit ints can represent (the non-integer part of) most (not all) irrational values to better precision than a double. The algo to find them is a bit mysterious but very simple. Simple example: 355/113 is equal to pi with a relative error of less than 1e-7, not bad for two 3-digit numbers. It's not difficult to find two 32-bit ints that would be better than a double. -- FA Follie! Follie!
