how are floats stored? i know that they are 32 bit, but where is the komma? what would be 1.0 in float binary?
1.0f => 0x3F800000
Some links:
floating-point format
floating-point notes
the story of IEEE floating-point
Also, in the US we use a point instead of a comma, thus "floating-point" -- is it called "floating-comma" elsewhere?

Yes in french we say "virgule flotante" and that means "floating-comma".
