I have always used frac(x) = 0
Is that worse or better than int(x) = x ?
The only proper way is to use something like Math.SameValue(x, int(x)).
Never use equality tests with floating point values, unless you are
checking for a specific bit pattern (or if you know that the value can
always be represented exactly a sum of power-of-two's).
