I really don't know what you mean by this. You are lost as soon as you 
write 232.3452345230987987098709879087098709870987098745234 without 
quotes, there is no float literal with that value.

You could pass the integer 
2323452345230987987098709879087098709870987098745234
as the argument if you always have the implied decimal point in the same 
place.
