Abstract: Binary floating-point numbers with finite precision cannot represent all decimal numbers with complete accuracy. This can often lead to errors while performing calculations involving ...

Abstract: Decimal data and decimal arithmetic operations are ubiquitous in daily life. Although microprocessors normally use binary arithmetic for computations, decimal arithmetic is often required in ...

Decimal arithmetic is indispensable in applications where precision is paramount, such as in financial, commercial and scientific domains. The inherent challenges of decimal computation, particularly ...

Editor's Note: This is the first article in a two-part series on decimal representations and decimal arithmetic in general, and on Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) in particular. In this first installment, ...

If a smaller and simpler library is required see big.js. It's less than half the size but only works with decimal numbers and only has half the methods. It also does not allow NaN or Infinity, or have ...

ABSTRACT: Decimal arithmetic is desirable for high precision requirements of many financial, industrial and scientific applications. Furthermore, hardware support for decimal arithmetic has gained ...

Generally, PowerShell retains the data type of the LHS in an arithmetic operation, if the LHS's data type is already wide enough / supports non-integral numbers in order to accommodate the result.

Rational numbers are represented by multiple notations: fractions, decimals, and percentages. Whereas previous studies have investigated affordances of these notations for representing different types ...
