  2. Double-precision floating-point format - Wikipedia

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

    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.

  3. Range (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_(computer_programming)

    When used in this sense, range is defined as "a pair of begin/end iterators packed together". [1] It is argued [1] that "Ranges are a superior abstraction" (compared to iterators) for several reasons, including better safety. In particular, such ranges are supported in C++20, [2] Boost C++ Libraries [3] and the D standard library. [4]

  4. Integer overflow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_overflow

    The register width of a processor determines the range of values that can be represented in its registers. Though the vast majority of computers can perform multiple-precision arithmetic on operands in memory, allowing numbers to be arbitrarily long and overflow to be avoided, the register width limits the sizes of numbers that can be operated on (e.g., added or subtracted) using a single ...

  5. Indexer (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indexer_(programming)

    In this example, the indexer is used to get the value at the nth position, and then to get the position in the list referenced by its value. The output of the code is: John is the member number 0 of the doeFamily Jane is the member number 1 of the doeFamily

  6. Scale factor (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_factor_(computer...

    As an example, when using an unsigned 8-bit fixed-point format (which has 4 integer bits and 4 fractional bits), the highest representable integer value is 15, and the highest representable mixed value is 15.9375 (0xF.F or 1111.1111 b). If the desired real world values are in the range [0,160], they must be scaled to fit within this fixed-point ...

  7. Ellipsis (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipsis_(computer...

    In Rust the ..= operator denotes an inclusive range for cases in matches and the .. operator represents a range not including the end value. Perl and Ruby overload the ".." operator in scalar context as a flip-flop operator - a stateful bistable Boolean test, roughly equivalent to "true while x but not yet y", similarly to the "," operator in ...

  8. Integer (computer science) - Wikipedia

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

    This type is not supported by compilers that require C code to be compliant with the previous C++ standard, C++03, because the long long type did not exist in C++03. For an ANSI/ISO compliant compiler, the minimum requirements for the specified ranges, that is, −(2 63 −1) [ 11 ] to 2 63 −1 for signed and 0 to 2 64 −1 for unsigned, [ 12 ...

  9. Extended precision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_precision

    Because M falls in the range 1 ≤ M < 2, the value of log 2 M will fall in the range 0 ≤ log 2 M < 1 so at least 52 bits are needed to the right of the radix point to represent the fractional part of the logarithm. Combining 10 bits to the left of the radix point with 52 bits to the right of the radix point means that the significand part of ...
