  2. Fixed-point arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_arithmetic

    A fixed-point representation of a fractional number is essentially an integer that is to be implicitly multiplied by a fixed scaling factor. For example, the value 1.23 can be stored in a variable as the integer value 1230 with implicit scaling factor of 1/1000 (meaning that the last 3 decimal digits are implicitly assumed to be a decimal fraction), and the value 1 230 000 can be represented ...

  3. Module:BaseConvert - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module:BaseConvert

    base - (required) the base to which the number should be converted. May be between 2 and 36, inclusive. from - the base of the input. Defaults to 10 (or 16 if the input has a leading '0x'). Note that bases other than 10 are not supported if the input has a fractional part. precision - number of digits to be rendered after the radix point ...

  4. Double dabble - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_dabble

    The algorithm operates as follows: Suppose the original number to be converted is stored in a register that is n bits wide. Reserve a scratch space wide enough to hold both the original number and its BCD representation; n + 4×ceil(n/3) bits will be enough.

  5. Decimal data type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_data_type

    C# has a built-in data type decimal consisting of 128 bits resulting in 28–29 significant digits. It has an approximate range of ±1.0 × 10 −28 to ±7.9228 × 10 28. [1] Starting with Python 2.4, Python's standard library includes a Decimal class in the module decimal. [2] Ruby's standard library includes a BigDecimal class in the module ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CORDIC

    CORDIC (coordinate rotation digital computer), Volder's algorithm, Digit-by-digit method, Circular CORDIC (Jack E. Volder), [1] [2] Linear CORDIC, Hyperbolic CORDIC (John Stephen Walther), [3] [4] and Generalized Hyperbolic CORDIC (GH CORDIC) (Yuanyong Luo et al.), [5] [6] is a simple and efficient algorithm to calculate trigonometric functions, hyperbolic functions, square roots ...

  7. Hamming code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamming_code

    Since [7, 4, 3] = [n, k, d] = [2 m − 1, 2 m − 1 − m, 3]. The parity-check matrix H of a Hamming code is constructed by listing all columns of length m that are pair-wise independent. Thus H is a matrix whose left side is all of the nonzero n -tuples where order of the n -tuples in the columns of matrix does not matter.

  8. Balanced ternary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balanced_ternary

    In the balanced ternary system the value of a digit n places left of the radix point is the product of the digit and 3 n. This is useful when converting between decimal and balanced ternary. In the following the strings denoting balanced ternary carry the suffix, bal3. For instance, 10 bal3 = 1 × 3 1 + 0 × 3 0 = 3 dec

  9. Positional notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positional_notation

    If an unknown weight W is balanced with 3 (3 1) on its pan and 1 and 27 (3 0 and 3 3) on the other, then its weight in decimal is 25 or 10 1 1 in balanced base-3. 10 1 1 3 = 1 × 3 3 + 0 × 3 2 − 1 × 3 1 + 1 × 3 0 = 25.
