floating point

listen to the pronunciation of floating point
İngilizce - İngilizce
of the internal representation of such a number as a pair of integers
of a number, written in two parts as a mantissa (the value of the digits) and characteristic (the power of a number base) e.g. 0.314159 x 101
A decimal number in which the number of places after the decimal point does not remain fixed, but is regularly recalculated
A technique for representing numbers without using a fixed-position point in order to improve the calculating capability of the CPU for arithmetic with real numbers
Scientific notation; a form of representation of numbers in which the number is represented in two parts, the argument or fixed-point part, and the exponent The exponent is that power of the radix by which the argument must be multiplied to give the true value of the number The use of floating-point representation and arithmetic in a computer facilitates storage and manipulation of numbers in a wider range of magnitudes than is normally practicable and with a consistent relative degree of precision
A representation for rational numbers (and an approximation for real numbers) that uses 32 bits of storage In Java, implemented by the primitive type float Contrast double precision floating point
system in which a quantity is denoted by one number multiplied by a power of the number base
Numbers that can have a fractional part and exponent 1 5, pi, and -1 2e157 are all floating point numbers The floating point type in A is dbl
Calculations that use an exponent with numbers to indicate the location of the decimal "floating" point is known as Floating Point Arithmetic These numbers have two parts: a mantissa and an exponent The mantissa designates the digits in the number and the exponent designates the position of the decimal point
The representation of numbers in terms of mantissa and base raised to some power so that the decimal point floats during calculations; scientific notation
Numbers with decimal places See Double
A method of representing numbers in which the decimal (binary) point is permitted to "float" to different locations within the number Some of the bits devoted to storing the number are devoted to keeping track of the point
A catagory of numerical values that have a fractional component
A variety of real number which is represented to a specified number of significant figures regardless of how big or small it is
A floating sector of Mainframe - it's mainly made up of a giant park and golf course RB: 1
non-integral arithmetic A floating-point number is typically represented as a base-two fraction part and an exponent
This is a particular way of representing numbers on computers similar to the scientific notation for writing numbers (e g 0 31415 x 101 also written as 0 31415E1 by computers where `E1' means `x 101') It is almost universally used to represent numbers that are not integers (0,1,2 ) Operations such as addition, multiplication and division using these number are usually the most time consuming parts of scientific computations and the number of such operations that can be performed each second is used as a (crude) measure of computer performance See FLOPS
A number whose bit structure is composed of a mantissa and exponent, whose ASCII representation contains an explicit decimal point and may include a power-of-ten exponent
The absolute limit before floating control is lost
A binary data type type used to hold a numerical value while allowing the number of decimal places to float or move around Much like the way the decimal point moves around on a calculator automatically as more or less precision is necessary to represent a number There are many standard storage formats for floating point values Compare to integer
Using an exponent with numbers in order to indicate the location of the decimal point
A decimal point with a location that is not fixed so it can accommodate numbers of varying lengths before or after the decimal point  Often used in computer operations
1 refers to numbers that may have a fractional part - in Java the floating point types are double and float
A system or number representation based on the assumption that you know the answer already
The term floating point is derived from the fact that there is no fixed number of digits before or after the decimal point; that is, the decimal point can float A floating point number is a real number, a number that can contain a fractional part
In computer operations, a positional notation in which corresponding places in different quantities are not necessarily occupied by coefficient of the same power of the base Compare fixed point
A computer representation of a real number
floating point operation
any simple operation, such as addition, multiplication or division, that a particular computer can perform using a single operation
floating point operations
plural form of floating point operation
Floating Point Unit
processing unit which calculates high-level mathematical operations (Computers)
floating point calculation
calculation operation of numbers containing decimals, calculation of fractional numbers
floating-point number
A number written in the form a x bc e.g. 3.75 x 103
floating-point number
A real number held as a pair of integers, one representing the mantissa and the other representing the exponent. The base is normally 10, 16 or 256 depending on the computing system
floating-point unit
A microprocessor that performs floating-point arithmetic. In older models of computer the FPU was not integrated into the central processing unit, but rather as a coprocessor if included at all
floating-point units
plural form of floating-point unit
floating-point number
Often referred to in mathematical terms as a "rational" or real number, this is just a number that can have a fractional part See also "Double-Precision" and "Single-Precision "
floating-point number
A real number that is represented by a pair of distinct numerals The real number is the product of the fractional part, one of the numerals, and a value obtained by raising the implicit floating-point base to a power indicated by the second numeral
Giga Floating Point Operations
(Computers) unit of measurement equal to one billion floating point operations per second (used to evaluate processing speed), GIGAFLOP
floating-point notation
0012 is 0
floating-point notation
12-2 where -2 is the exponent
floating-point notation
a radix numeration system in which the location of the decimal point is indicated by an exponent of the radix; the floating-point representation of 0
floating-point number
an approximate representation of a real number value in scientific notation, consisting of a fractional part (mantissa) and an exponent E g 0 196E31 represents the number 0 196 10^31
floating-point number
a number represented in floating-point notation
