  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.

    Type Explanation Size (bits) Format specifier Range Suffix for decimal constants bool: Boolean type, added in C23.: 1 (exact) %d [false, true]char: Smallest addressable unit of the machine that can contain basic character set.

  4. 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]

  5. Primitive data type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primitive_data_type

    Instead, numeric values of zero are interpreted as false, and any other value is interpreted as true. [9] The newer C99 added a distinct Boolean type _Bool (the more intuitive name bool as well as the macros true and false can be included with stdbool.h), [10] and C++ supports bool as a built-in type and true and false as reserved words. [11]

  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. IEEE 754 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_754

    The binary32 (single) and binary64 (double) formats are two of the most common formats used today. The figure below shows the absolute precision for both formats over a range of values. This figure can be used to select an appropriate format given the expected value of a number and the required precision.

  8. Naming convention (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naming_convention...

    In C and C++, keywords and standard library identifiers are mostly lowercase. In the C standard library, abbreviated names are the most common (e.g. isalnum for a function testing whether a character is alphanumeric), while the C++ standard library often uses an underscore as a word separator (e.g. out_of_range).

  9. IEEE 754-1985 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_754-1985

    In single precision, the bias is 127, so in this example the biased exponent is 124; in double precision, the bias is 1023, so the biased exponent in this example is 1020. fraction = .01000… 2 . IEEE 754 adds a bias to the exponent so that numbers can in many cases be compared conveniently by the same hardware that compares signed 2's ...
