After discussing integers, the chapter presents floating point arithmetic. The representation involves a sign bit, an exponent, and a mantissa (significant digits). Since only a finite number of bits are used,
How does floating-point arithmetic work? Floating-point arithmetic works by performing operations on the encoded representations of floating-point numbers. The arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) consider the exponent and significand, applying rules defined by the Institute...
One reason for this breadth stems from the fact that any floating-point representation can account for but a finite subset of the continuum of real numbers; this finiteness presents a variety of unforeseen obstacles, chief among which is the fact that certain properties of real arithmetic (e.g...

Floating-point arithmetic is usually done in hardware to make it fast. This hardware, called the floating-point unit (FPU), is typically distinct from the central processing unit (CPU). The infamous floating-point division (FDIV) bug in the Pentium FPU cost Intel $475 million to recall and...

Overflow: Overflow occurs when a number is too large to be represented. Excel uses its own special representation for this case (#NUM!). Cases in which we don't adhere to IEEE 754 Denormalized numbers: A denormalized number is indicated by an exponent of 0. In that case, the entire num...
Floating-point exceptions Do not expect absolute precision; not possible in a finite format Negation is an operation; negation is not part of float (or integer) constants printf rounds The Compiler's Responsibility The compiler must faithfully translate floating-point arithmetic so that the computed ...
Floating-Point Representation Numbers are easy to imagine, but hard to store. Each number has the potential to be unbounded inbothdirections, either being impossibly large, or impossibly small. And so, storing them in memory is a challenge that has to find a compromise between memory allocation...
