However, the imprecision of floats is in the 10-12 precision digit range. That is, it's precise up to about 0.0000000001 (or slightly fewer decimal places if the integer part is large). Given the precision with which those constants are specified, I doubt that float imprecision will be an issue here, unless there's a *lot* of repeated operations, e.g. a loop with many (i.e. hundreds to thousands of) iterations.
