It is quite usual that simple decimal fractions like 0.1 or 0.7 cannot be converted into their internal binary counterparts without a little loss of precision.

See also type juggling.

Upon power on (a.k.a.

For values of other types, the conversion is the same as if the value would have been converted to integer and then to float.

The boat was broken by the floating ice.

Companies with a high percentage of floating rate debt stand to lose the most, Goldman said.

If the exchange rate is irrevocably fixed, that safety valve disappears.

Low interest rates meant that deficits could be financed by floating bonds.

In a floating exchange rate system, a currency should weaken in the face of chronic weakness in the economy.

It supports only a small number of atomic data structures such as boolean values, numbers (double precision floating point by default), and strings.

For instance, at the same time as a mathematical instruction is fed into the floating point unit, the load store unit can fetch the next instruction.

So this is actually a Dutch company, so I called them up, and I asked, Can I borrow a heart valve from you?

The most powerful configuration, the SC5832, is a single cabinet supercomputer consisting of 972 such node chips for a total of 5832 MIPS64 processor cores and 8.2 teraFLOPS of peak performance.

And they said, Well the director of the company decided not to let you borrow this heart valve, because want his product to be associated with pigs.

If the state bowed before the challenge it faced, France would be no more than a poor, broken toy floating on an ocean of uncertainty, he warned.

the smallest MicroVAX 2000 had a 40MB RD32 hard disk and a maximum of 6MB of RAM, and its CPU had to emulate some of the VAX floating point instructions in software.

The exchange rate is a safety valve when an economy becomes uncompetitive say, if international demand for its products declines, or domestic costs rise above other countries a decline in the currency s value can restore demand for the nation s output, and so help preserve employment.

It should also be obvious that, in the absence of currency markets to act as a valve for economic and financial pressures, economic volatility may increase.

The wearer of the belt could open a valve, letting out nitrogen from the gas cylinder through the nozzles, which tossed him upward to a height of 7 meters (22 feet).

This is about as good as maps get, and to reach it you've got to ski literally over the frozen crust, the floating skin of ice on the Artic Ocean.

And once it's in the right spot, they remove the outer shell, and the heart valve, well, it gets this shape and at that moment it starts beating, instantly.

If the instructions inside the function are written with the assumption of receiving an integer value, but the calling code passed a floating point value, then the wrong result will be computed by the invoked function.

The exchange rate is a safety valve when an economy becomes uncompetitive say, if international demand for its products declines, or domestic costs rise above other countries a decline in the currency s value can restore demand for the nation s output, and so help preserve employment.

When normal mortgages did not prime the pump enough, he encouraged them to take out variable rate mortgages at a time when interest rates had nowhere to go but up.

Hiroshi Ishii and his group at the MIT Media Lab took a ping pong table and placed a projector above it, and on the ping pong table they projected an image of water with fish swimming in it.

It is bordered by Rhône Alpes, France to the west, Valais, Switzerland to the north and the region of Piedmont to the south and east.
