Description

f64 has run into overlow/underflow errors with my homework; advising switching to Decimal128 at suggestion of an LC member.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Identify the specific operations causing overflow/underflow in f64, then research the Decimal128 crate (e.g., `rust decimal`) to replace f64 with Decimal128, ensuring no breaking changes.
