Double-precision floating-point format (sometimes called FP64 or float64) is a floating-point number format, usually occupying 64 bits in computer memory; it represents a wide range of numeric values by using a floating radix point. Double precision may be chosen when the range or precision of single precision would be insufficient.
Existing Eiffel software uses the string classes (such as STRING_8) from the Eiffel libraries, but Eiffel software written for .NET must use the .NET string class (System.String) in many cases, for example when calling .NET methods which expect items of the .NET type to be passed as arguments. So, the conversion of these types back and forth ...
(Quadruple-precision REAL*16 is supported by the Intel Fortran Compiler [10] and by the GNU Fortran compiler [11] on x86, x86-64, and Itanium architectures, for example.) For the C programming language, ISO/IEC TS 18661-3 (floating-point extensions for C, interchange and extended types) specifies _Float128 as the type implementing the IEEE 754 ...
The interface {} type can be used to model structured data of any arbitrary schema in Go, such as JSON or YAML data, by representing it as a map [string] interface {} (map of string to empty interface). This recursively describes data in the form of a dictionary with string keys and values of any type.
If a decimal string with at most 6 significant digits is converted to the IEEE 754 single-precision format, giving a normal number, and then converted back to a decimal string with the same number of digits, the final result should match the original string. If an IEEE 754 single-precision number is converted to a decimal string with at least 9 ...
C99 for code examples demonstrating access and use of IEEE 754 features; Floating-point arithmetic, for history, design rationale and example usage of IEEE 754 features; Fixed-point arithmetic, for an alternative approach at computation with rational numbers (especially beneficial when the exponent range is known, fixed, or bound at compile time)
As of September 2020, Gtk# support for Gtk3 remains in the preview phase and forked projects, such as GtkSharp, have been founded to provide full Gtk3 support for C# and other CLI languages. The lack of a released version of Gtk# with support for Gtk3 was cited as a reason to remove the Banshee media player in Ubuntu 12.04.
