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)
In particular, IEEE 754 already uses "canonical NaN" with the meaning of "canonical encoding of a NaN" (e.g. "isCanonical(x) is true if and only if x is a finite number, infinity, or NaN that is canonical." page 38, but also for totalOrder page 42), thus a different meaning from what is used here. Please help clarify the section.

Variable length arithmetic represents numbers as a string of digits of a variable's length limited only by the memory available. Variable-length arithmetic operations are considerably slower than fixed-length format floating-point instructions.

In a normal floating-point value, there are no leading zeros in the significand (also commonly called mantissa); rather, leading zeros are removed by adjusting the exponent (for example, the number 0.0123 would be written as 1.23 × 10 −2). Conversely, a denormalized floating-point value has a significand with a leading digit of zero.

In JavaScript, the empty string (""), null, undefined, NaN, +0, −0 and false [28] are sometimes called falsy (of which the complement is truthy) to distinguish between strictly type-checked and coerced Booleans (see also: JavaScript syntax#Type conversion). [29] As opposed to Python, empty containers (Arrays, Maps, Sets) are considered truthy.
