curprev 09:3809:38, 2 December 2024 Vincent Lefèvre talk contribs 121,099 bytes +7 Correction for the "invalid" exception: "real-valued result" was incorrect because this should include infinities. Let's be explicit by saying "finite or infinite result". undo
curprev 09:3409:34, 2 December 2024 Vincent Lefèvre talk contribs 121,092 bytes +2 replaced "string" by "sequence" to avoid the confusion with String (computer science) thus with floating-point literals undo

curprev 21:0721:07, 22 November 2024 Taylor Riastradh Campbell talk contribs 121,060 bytes −101 Correct mistakes in recent changes: 12.345 _is_ a 5-digit base-10 fp number, not a matter of notation but of membership in a mathematical set; write it another way as a ratio to emphasize this, and show other ratios for contrast. Avoid unnecessary, confusing jargon like "fixed-point" and "integral power" in the introduction; say "string of digits" in order to avoid conflict over the view of significand as an integer (which is always valid, just not unique). Shave off some wording to make room. undo

curprev 02:3602:36, 20 November 2024 176.4.186.229 talk 121,161 bytes +4 changed from 'is a floating point' to 'can be written as', 12.345 isn't 'floating' but fixed. It misses separation of significand and exponent. undo Tag: Visual edit
