TP's real type is a non-standard type. It has 48 bits (6 bytes). Why do
you want to use it or know something about it?
Better use single (4) or double (8 bytes). Look for IEEE 754 if you are
interested in the internal representation.

That looks like a successor function.
A successor function for reals... strange!
