  2. Variable-length quantity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-length_quantity

    A variable-length quantity (VLQ) is a universal code that uses an arbitrary number of binary octets (eight-bit bytes) to represent an arbitrarily large integer. A VLQ is essentially a base-128 representation of an unsigned integer with the addition of the eighth bit to mark continuation of bytes. VLQ is identical to LEB128 except in endianness ...

  3. Type conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_conversion

    Conversely, precision can be lost when converting representations from integer to floating-point, since a floating-point type may be unable to exactly represent all possible values of some integer type. For example, float might be an IEEE 754 single precision type, which cannot represent the integer 16777217 exactly, while a 32-bit integer type ...

  4. Integer (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_(computer_science)

    In computer science, an integer is a datum of integral data type, a data type that represents some range of mathematical integers. Integral data types may be of different sizes and may or may not be allowed to contain negative values.

    Convert to an octet string ... Below is Python code implementing MGF1: import hashlib def mgf1 (seed: bytes, length: int, hash_func = hashlib. sha1) ...

  6. Primitive data type - Wikipedia

    1 byte 8 bits Byte, octet, minimum size of char in C99( see limits.h CHAR_BIT) −128 to +127 0 to 255 2 bytes 16 bits x86 word, minimum size of short and int in C −32,768 to +32,767 0 to 65,535 4 bytes 32 bits x86 double word, minimum size of long in C, actual size of int for most modern C compilers, [8] pointer for IA-32-compatible processors

  7. Single-precision floating-point format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-precision_floating...

    Here we can show how to convert a base-10 real number into an IEEE 754 binary32 format using the following outline: Consider a real number with an integer and a fraction part such as 12.375; Convert and normalize the integer part into binary; Convert the fraction part using the following technique as shown here

  8. LEB128 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LEB128

    It also puts all the prefix bits at the beginning of the word, instead of at the beginning of each byte. Human interface device report descriptor bytes use a byte-count bitfield of 2 bits to encode the size of the following integer of zero, one, two, or four bytes, always little endian. Signedness, i.e. whether to expand the shortened integer ...

  9. Double-precision floating-point format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-precision_floating...

    The format is written with the significand having an implicit integer bit of value 1 (except for special data, see the exponent encoding below). With the 52 bits of the fraction (F) significand appearing in the memory format, the total precision is therefore 53 bits (approximately 16 decimal digits, 53 log 10 (2) ≈ 15.955).
