correct

Critical: The current solution is not correct for floating point numbers.
In this case:
   Dim i As Float
   For i = -10.0 To -1.0 Step 1.0
     Print i
   Next
The loop terminates before it is entered. That is because, if you take the  
*(long long int*)&a_double - *(long long int*)&another_double, the result  
will be reversed if both are negative, as floating point numbers are not  
twos complement.
