A system and method for converting from decimal floating point (DFP) into scaled binary coded decimal (SBCD). The system includes a mechanism for receiving a DFP number. The system also includes at least one of a mechanism for performing coefficient expansion on the DFP number to create a ...
Arrow expects timestamps to be 64-bit integers with a specific precision, such as ms, us, or ns. If your data requires a different precision, you can multiply your floating-point seconds by the desired precision (e.g. 1000 for ms), then convert to int64 and cast to a timestamp. Her...
We have hundreds of stored procedures which convert decimal(5,1) into a float (first through a #TempTable then than data is loaded to a physical table with float as the datatype). We use this information for very complicated and precise percentages for reports. On occassion, the float de...
The strptime() function parses a time string according to a specified format. It returns a struct_time object, which can be obtained using either gmtime() or localtime(). The format parameter follows the same directives as those used in strftime(), with a default format of "%a %b %d ...

A decimal number is a floating-point value that consists of a sign, a numeric value where each digit in the value ranges from 0 to 9, and a scaling factor that indicates the position of a floating decimal point that separates the integral and fractional parts of the numeric value. I'm ...
Since the decimal data type in SQL Server only supports 38 digits, it is a lost cause. Which it is anyway, because there is not really a point formatting a floating-point number of, say, 1E30 with 30 digits, since the precision is only 15-16 digits anyway. Please sign in t...
If we can floating point convert to integer- fixed point by multiplying 100 or 1000 or else, we can use a very old connversion method binary to binary coded decimal (BCD). We have to shift our integer into result register MSB first bit by bit and check each four bits are them less ...
Before we start converting between types, it's crucial to understand what floats and integers are. In Python, an integer (int) is a number without a decimal point. A floating-point number (float), on the other hand, is a number that contains a decimal point. Floats are used when more...
processing by decomposing decimal deta into plural blocks, each of which consists of a preliminarily determined number of digits, in order from the least significant digit and converting every block to binary data and performing the count-up processing in accordance with positions of blocks to add ...
