Actually no, floats don't meet this behaviour or more specifically
floats don't guarantee this behaviour. It depends of course on
your implementation of f, but it is possible with floats to keep
incrementing and never reach a maximum.
My code won't hit this corner case. I'm incrementing with integers.
incrementing what with integers?
>>> f = 9007199254740992.0
>>> f == f+1
True
I mean that the number that's being incremented is an integer:
py> f = 9007199254740992.0
py> i = 9007199254740991
py> i <= f
True
py> i += 1
py> i <= f
True
py> i += 1
py> i <= f
False
