  2. C data types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_data_types

    The C language provides the four basic arithmetic type specifiers char, int, float and double (as well as the boolean type bool), and the modifiers signed, unsigned, short, and long. The following table lists the permissible combinations in specifying a large set of storage size-specific declarations.

  3. Type conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_conversion

    The integer is: 16777217 The float is: 16777216.000000 Their equality: 1 Note that 1 represents equality in the last line above. This odd behavior is caused by an implicit conversion of i_value to float when it is compared with f_value. The conversion causes loss of precision, which makes the values equal before the comparison. Important takeaways:

  4. Type punning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_punning

    In C and C++, constructs such as pointer type conversion and union — C++ adds reference type conversion and reinterpret_cast to this list — are provided in order to permit many kinds of type punning, although some kinds are not actually supported by the standard language.

  5. Operators in C and C++ - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operators_in_C_and_C++

    This is a list of operators in the C and C++ programming languages.. All listed operators are in C++ and lacking indication otherwise, in C as well. Some tables include a "In C" column that indicates whether an operator is also in C. Note that C does not support operator overloading.

  6. IEEE 754 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_754

    The standard requires operations to convert between basic formats and external character sequence formats. [57] Conversions to and from a decimal character format are required for all formats. Conversion to an external character sequence must be such that conversion back using round to nearest, ties to even will recover the original number.

  7. Primitive data type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primitive_data_type

    byte, short, int, long, char (integer types with a variety of ranges) float and double, floating-point numbers with single and double precisions; boolean, a Boolean type with logical values true and false; returnAddress, a value referring to an executable memory address. This is not accessible from the Java programming language and is usually ...

  8. Half-precision floating-point format - Wikipedia

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

    ILM was searching for an image format that could handle a wide dynamic range, but without the hard drive and memory cost of single or double precision floating point. [5] The hardware-accelerated programmable shading group led by John Airey at SGI (Silicon Graphics) used the s10e5 data type in 1997 as part of the 'bali' design effort.

  9. C mathematical functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_mathematical_functions

    The type-generic macros that correspond to a function that is defined for only real numbers encapsulates a total of 3 different functions: float, double and long double variants of the function. The C++ language includes native support for function overloading and thus does not provide the <tgmath.h> header even as a compatibility feature.
