May 21, 2016 at 12:48 comment added trichoplax is on Codidact now 64 bit integers allow for a larger maximum number than 32 bit integers, but they can still only take whole number values. You could ask why integers are used as a separate question, but that would require access to more of the code and some context on what it is used for. Without that context it is difficult to judge whether this would be on topic for Computer Graphics.

Include Nero's point about accuracy
May 20, 2016 at 15:36 comment added Nero Additionally, the code for vSize() does not return very precise results as the square root of an integer is not necessarily also an integer, but the method returns an int. Actually, in most cases the given method will return imprecise results.
