Recommendations
FLP00-A. Understand the limitations of floating point numbers
FLP01-A. Take care in rearranging floating point expressions
FLP03-A. Detect and handle floating point errors
FLP02-A. Consider avoiding floating point numbers when precise computation is needed
Rules
FLP30-C. Do not use floating point variables as loop counters
FLP31-C. Do not call functions expecting real values with complex values
FLP32-C. Prevent or detect domain and range errors in math functions
FLP33-C. Convert integers to floating point for floating point operations
FLP34-C. Ensure that floating point conversions are within range of the new type
