This first thing you need to do is determine what the range and precision
requirements are for each value.  Once you know that, you can decide on a
representation.  You may not need floating point at all.  It is often
convenient to represent angles as unsigned integers where 2**N represents a
complete circle.  That makes wrapping to the first circle trivial.  You let
things overflow as they want, then keep just the low N bits of the result.

You've already said that COUNT is a 10 bit integer, so we need to know the
min/max range of A, B and ANGLE, and their precisions.

Why?  Nothing else you said justifies this.
