Additional Methods on Float

+.. method:: float.as_integer_ratio()
+
+ Return a pair of integers whose ratio is exactly equal to the

+Two methods support conversion to
and from hexadecimal strings. Since Python's floats are stored
internally as binary numbers, converting a float to or from a
*decimal* string usually involves a small rounding error. In
