Examples of 'floating-point' in a sentence

Meaning of "floating-point"

Floating-point (noun): Floating-point is a method used in computing to represent and store real numbers with fractional values. Floating-point numbers consist of a sign bit, exponent, and mantissa, allowing for a wide range of values to be expressed with varying levels of precision. Floating-point arithmetic is commonly used in scientific computing, engineering, and other fields that require complex mathematical calculations.
