+/* The C Programming Language: 2nd Edition
+ *
+ * Exercise 5-2: Write getfloat, the floating-point analog of getint. What
+ * type does getfloat return as its function value?
+ *
+ * Answer: getfloat should return an integer, since getint's return value is
+ * only important to check its status, not the value type that it's working
+ * with. The only real "gotcha" here is making sure to use getch() after
+ * checking for a decimal point so the resulting loop will actually execute.
