= Radix Float

Radix provides a Float class for working with floating point numbers in
any base.

  require 'radix'

With it, the #b method extends String and Array classes to
simplify all mulit-base operations.

  b = "100.01".b(2)
  b.to_a.assert == [1,0,0,'.',0,1]

Convert to base 10.

  t = b.convert(10)
  t.to_a.assert == [4,'.',2,5]

Like a Numeric class, Radix::Float's can be added, subtracted, multipled, etc.

  r = "1000.01".b(2) + "2".b(8)
  r.assert == "1010.01".b(2)
  r.assert == "12.2".b(8)
  r.assert == "10.25".b(10)

Even complex conversions are supported.

  r = "AZ42".b(62) + "54".b(10)
  r.assert == "2518124".b(10)

To work with bases greater than 62, use arrays. A '.' entry in the array
can be used to separate the whole from the fractional part of the number.

  r = [100,10,'.',64].b(256) + "54".b(10)
  r.assert == "25664.25".b(10)
