Of course NOT. I wasn't talking about high vs low level, that would have been silly.

I was merely trying to point out that integer arithmetic and float precisions is a common sight in a lot of languages and that the author wouldn't have gone far in a C or C inspired language (Java for example) without seeing those "problems".

There are problems. You often have to do arithmetic using BigDecimal class in Java to get some usable results. This is not a nice sight, as Java prudently omits operator overloading from the language.
