浮点数不一定等于小数(国外英语资料) A floating point is not necessarily equal to a decimal 2012-05-08 22:34, 55 people read comments (0) collection report Float storage of C floating points is not necessarily decimal, nor is the fixed-point integer. The float is the decimal point is not fixed in logic, and can only express the value of the fixed points of the decimal point, with floating-point or fixed-point representation of what is a species which depends on the user gives the number of significance. There are 6 floating point numbers in C++: Float: single precision, 32 bit Unsigned float: single precision, unsigned, 32 bit Double: double precision, 64 bit Unsigned double: double precision, unsigned, 64 bit Long double: high double precision, 80 bit Unsigned long double: high, double precision, unsigned, 80 bit A floating point a is represented by two numbers m and E: a = m * b^e. In any such system, we select a radix B (base of numeration system) and precision P (that is, how many bits are used to store it). M (that is, mantissa) is the number of P digits in the form of + d.ddd... DDD (each is an integer between 0 and B-1, including 0 and B-1). If the first bit of M is a non - 0 integer, M is called normalization. Some descriptions use a separate symbol bit (s represent + or -) to indicate positive and negative, so that M must be positive. E is exponential. (1) single precision floating point number (Single) Used to represent real numbers with decimals; used in scientific calculations. Occupies 4 bytes (32 bits) storage space, including symbol bit 1, order 8 bits, mantissa 23. Its numerical range is from 3.4E-38 to 3.4E+38, and single precision floating point numbers have at most 7 decimal efficient digits. The index of single precision floating point numbers is represented by E or e. Single precision floating point numbers have many forms of expression: + N.N (decimal form) + N, E + m (exponential form) + N.N, E + m (exponential form) If the number of significant digits in a gi
