The CountFloats(file) command counts the number of floating-point numbers from the current position in file to the end of file.

The CountFloats function returns the number of times ReadNextFloat can be called before the end of the file is reached.

An error is raised if file is not a valid descriptor or if it is the name of a file that does not exist.
