The decimal point is marked according to the agreed method
1. Fixed-point representation
There is no special hardware to represent the decimal point in the computer;
The position of the decimal point is agreed upon by computer architects during the process of designing the computer system.
In the process of hardware implementation and software implementation, this agreement must be followed.
2. Floating point representation
Why was floating point number representation introduced in computers?
What is the format of the floating point representation?
Does the base value of the mantissa and exponent code have to be 2, the impact of the base value?
