Programming languages that support arbitrary precision computations, either built-in, or in the standard library of the language: Ada: the upcoming Ada 202x revision adds the Ada.Numerics.Big_Numbers.Big_Integers and Ada.Numerics.Big_Numbers.Big_Reals packages to the standard library, providing arbitrary precision integers and real numbers.
code.google.com /p /libfixmath libfixmath is a platform-independent fixed-point math library aimed at developers wanting to perform fast non-integer math on platforms lacking a (or with a low performance) FPU .
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.
Swift introduced half-precision floating point numbers in Swift 5.3 with the Float16 type. [20] OpenCL also supports half-precision floating point numbers with the half datatype on IEEE 754-2008 half-precision storage format. [21] As of 2024, Rust is currently working on adding a new f16 type for IEEE half-precision 16-bit floats. [22]
The C++ standard library provides a complex template class as well as complex-math functions in the <complex> header. The Go programming language has built-in types complex64 (each component is 32-bit float) and complex128 (each component is 64-bit float). Imaginary number literals can be specified by appending an "i".
An interface to the Python language is available through the PyArmadillo package, [4] which facilitates prototyping of algorithms in Python followed by relatively straightforward conversion to C++. Armadillo is a core dependency of the mlpack machine learning library [5] and the ensmallen C++ library for numerical optimization. [6]
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.
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 ...
