I am working on floating point representation. I have to write a program that will take a decimal, convert to binary, normalize it, and print out the floating point representation. I want to write ...

Floating-point arithmetic is a cornerstone of modern computational science, providing an efficient means to approximate real numbers within a finite precision framework. Its ubiquity across scientific ...

An unfortunate reality of trying to represent continuous real numbers in a fixed space (e.g. with a limited number of bits) is that this comes with an inevitable loss of both precision and accuracy.

I don’t know about you, but I typically have a number of “back-burner” projects on the go. Currently I'm playing with creating my own simple binary floating-point format as part of an educational tool ...

A way to represent very large and very small numbers using the same quantity of numeric positions. Floating point also enables calculating a wide range of numbers very quickly. Although floating point ...

Routines for the PIC16/17 families are provided in a modified IEEE 754 32-bit format together with versions in 24-bit reduced format. Although fixed point arithmetic can usually be employed in many ...
