On the other hand, the simplicity of BASIC makes it ideal for scientists and engineers who only occasionally visit the programming world. Regardless of the language you use, most of the important DSP software issues are buried far below in the realm of whirling ones and zeros. This includes such topics as: how numbers are represented by bit patterns, round-off error in computer arithmetic, the computational speed of different types of processors, etc. This chapter ...
