  2. Fixed-point arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_arithmetic

    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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_number

    The base-2 numeral system is a positional notation with a radix of 2.Each digit is referred to as a bit, or binary digit.Because of its straightforward implementation in digital electronic circuitry using logic gates, the binary system is used by almost all modern computers and computer-based devices, as a preferred system of use, over various other human techniques of communication, because ...

  5. Conversion of units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_units

    Conversion of units is the conversion of the unit of measurement in which a quantity is expressed, typically through a multiplicative conversion factor that changes the unit without changing the quantity. This is also often loosely taken to include replacement of a quantity with a corresponding quantity that describes the same physical property.

    By {{Convert}} default, the conversion result will be rounded either to precision comparable to that of the input value (the number of digits after the decimal point—or the negative of the number of non-significant zeroes before the point—is increased by one if the conversion is a multiplication by a number between 0.02 and 0.2, remains the ...

  7. Scale factor (computer science) - Wikipedia

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

    [2] As an example of where precision is lost, a 16-bit unsigned integer (uint16) can only hold a value as large as 65,535 10. If unsigned 16-bit integers are used to represent values from 0 to 131,070 10, then a scale factor of 12 would be introduced, such that the scaled values correspond exactly to the real-world even integers.

  8. Double dabble - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_dabble

    In computer science, the double dabble algorithm is used to convert binary numbers into binary-coded decimal (BCD) notation. [1] [2] It is also known as the shift-and-add-3 algorithm, and can be implemented using a small number of gates in computer hardware, but at the expense of high latency. [3]

  9. Quater-imaginary base - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quater-imaginary_base

    Because d 0 − 4 d 2 + 16 d 4 = 7 and because—by the nature of the quater-imaginary system—the coefficients can only be 0, 1, 2 or 3 the value of the coefficients can be found. A possible configuration could be: d 0 = 3, d 2 = 3 and d 4 = 1. This configuration gives the resulting digit string for 7 10.
