  2. Guard digit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guard_digit

    Here, the product notation indicates a binary floating point representation with the exponent of the representation given as a power of two and with the significand given with three bits after the binary point. To compute the subtraction it is necessary to change the forms of these numbers so that they have the same exponent, and so that when ...

  3. Rounding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounding

    For example, rounding x = 2.1784 dollars to whole cents (i.e., to a multiple of 0.01) entails computing 2.1784 / 0.01 = 217.84, then rounding that to 218, and finally computing 218 × 0.01 = 2.18. When rounding to a predetermined number of significant digits , the increment m depends on the magnitude of the number to be rounded (or of the ...

  4. Round-off error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-off_error

    This rounding rule is biased because it always moves the result toward zero. Round-to-nearest: () is set to the nearest floating-point number to . When there is a tie, the floating-point number whose last stored digit is even (also, the last digit, in binary form, is equal to 0) is used.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeric_precision_in...

    Excel maintains 15 figures in its numbers, but they are not always accurate; mathematically, the bottom line should be the same as the top line, in 'fp-math' the step '1 + 1/9000' leads to a rounding up as the first bit of the 14 bit tail '10111000110010' of the mantissa falling off the table when adding 1 is a '1', this up-rounding is not undone when subtracting the 1 again, since there is no ...

  6. Round (cryptography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round_(cryptography)

    Since a single round is usually cryptographically weak, many attacks that fail to work against the full version of ciphers will work on such reduced-round variants. The result of such attack provides valuable information about the strength of the algorithm, [ 9 ] a typical break of the full cipher starts out as a success against a reduced-round ...

  7. Binary angular measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_angular_measurement

    Signed binary angle measurement. Black is traditional degrees representation, green is a BAM as a decimal number and red is hexadecimal 32-bit BAM. In this figure the 32-bit binary integers are interpreted as signed binary fixed-point values with scaling factor 2 −31, representing fractions between −1.0 (inclusive) and +1.0 (exclusive).

    The most obvious enhancements to the standard are the addition of a 16-bit and a 128-bit binary type and three decimal types, some new operations, and many recommended functions. However, there have been significant clarifications in terminology throughout. This summary highlights the main differences in each major clause of the standard.

  9. Bit numbering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_numbering

    A diagram showing how manipulating the least significant bits of a color can have a very subtle and generally unnoticeable effect on the color. In this diagram, green is represented by its RGB value, both in decimal and in binary. The red box surrounding the last two bits illustrates the least significant bits changed in the binary representation.
