  2. SQL syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL_syntax

    For a decimal number with scale S, the exact numeric value is the integer value of the significant digits divided by 10 S. SQL provides the functions CEILING and FLOOR to round numerical values. (Popular vendor specific functions are TRUNC (Informix, DB2, PostgreSQL, Oracle and MySQL) and ROUND (Informix, SQLite, Sybase, Oracle, PostgreSQL ...

  4. Floating-point arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating-point_arithmetic

    The "decimal" data type of the C# and Python programming languages, and the decimal formats of the IEEE 754-2008 standard, are designed to avoid the problems of binary floating-point representations when applied to human-entered exact decimal values, and make the arithmetic always behave as expected when numbers are printed in decimal.

  5. Real data type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_data_type

    A fixed-point data type uses the same, implied, denominator for all numbers. The denominator is usually a power of two.For example, in a hypothetical fixed-point system that uses the denominator 65,536 (2 16), the hexadecimal number 0x12345678 (0x1234.5678 with sixteen fractional bits to the right of the assumed radix point) means 0x12345678/65536 or 305419896/65536, 4660 + the fractional ...

  6. Decimal floating point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_floating_point

    The otherwise binary Wang VS machine supported a 64-bit decimal floating-point format in 1977. [2] The Motorola 68881 supported a format with 17 digits of mantissa and 3 of exponent in 1984, with the floating-point support library for the Motorola 68040 processor providing a compatible 96-bit decimal floating-point storage format in 1990.

  7. Single-precision floating-point format - Wikipedia

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

    All integers with seven or fewer decimal digits, and any 2 n for a whole number −149 ≤ n ≤ 127, can be converted exactly into an IEEE 754 single-precision floating-point value. In the IEEE 754 standard , the 32-bit base-2 format is officially referred to as binary32 ; it was called single in IEEE 754-1985 .

  8. Extended precision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_precision

    Bounds on conversion between decimal and binary for the 80-bit format can be given as follows: If a decimal string with at most 18 significant digits is correctly rounded to an 80-bit IEEE 754 binary floating-point value (as on input) then converted back to the same number of significant decimal digits (as for output), then the final string ...

  9. decimal64 floating-point format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal64_floating-point...

    decimal64 fits well to replace binary64 format in applications where 'small deviations' are unwanted and speed isn't extremely crucial. In contrast to the binaryxxx data formats the decimalxxx formats provide exact representation of decimal fractions, exact calculations with them and enable human common 'ties away from zero' rounding (in some range, to some precision, to some degree).
