Why decay factor isn't float

[leaqui]

Hi, using a decay factor of 2 the importance of loads decreases to fast:

0	100,0%
1	50,0%
2	25,0%
3	12,5%
4	6,3%
5	3,1%
6	1,6%
7	0,8%
8	0,4%
9	0,2%

I want to use a decay factor between 1 and 2 but the decay factor is an integer value.

Is there a reason of being an int?

Thanks in advance

Leandro
