How save the floating numbers in reg verilog?

[stackprogramer]

Hi, I define some reg variable when I initialize reg with integer, Everything is ok.

reg [15:0] a;
reg [15:0] b;
reg [15:0] c;
a=1;
b=2;

c=a*b;

When I want to initialize reg value with float I face with errors...

a=.005
b=-.004
c=a*b

Anyone can guide me? thanks in advance
