Non-integral mathematics
Abstract
This chapter explains methods for dealing with non-integral values using fixed point and floating point representations. The Sine function is implemented in fixed point and compared to the floating point implementation provided by the compiler. The consequences of round off errors are discussed.

Chapter 7 introduced methods for performing computation using integers. Although many problems can be solved using only integers, it is often necessary (or at least more convenient) to perform computation using real ...
