For example, in an expression mixing integer and floating point numbers ( like 5 + 0.1 ), the compiler will automatically convert integer representation into floating point representation so fractions are not lost.

This was explained as the set of real values in a finite population of chromosomes as forming a " virtual alphabet " ( when selection and recombination are dominant ) with a much lower cardinality than would be expected from a floating point representation.

For that purpose, they don't use integer values to represent the single color channels ( e . g ., 0-255 in an 8 bit per pixel interval for red, green and blue ) but instead use a floating point representation.

In floating point representation, the space between any two adjacent values is of the same proportion as the space between any other two adjacent values, whereas in an integer representation, the space between adjacent values gets larger in proportion to low-level signals.

Rounding is almost unavoidable when reporting many computations especially when dividing two numbers in integer or fixed-point arithmetic; when computing mathematical functions such as square roots, logarithms, and sines; or when using a floating point representation with a fixed number of significant digits.

While no amount of delay can make a theoretical Gaussian filter causal ( because the Gaussian function is non-zero everywhere ), the Gaussian function converges to zero so rapidly that a causal approximation can achieve any required tolerance with a modest delay, even to the accuracy of floating point representation.

Leslie Comrie's articles on punched card methods and W . J . Eckert's publication of " Punched Card Methods in Scientific Computation " in 1940, described punched card techniques sufficiently advanced to solve some differential equations or perform multiplication and division using floating point representations, all on punched cards and unit record machines.

Given that the MMX's 64-bit MMn registers are aliased to the FPU stack and each of the floating point registers are 80 bits wide, the upper 16 bits of the floating point registers are unused in MMX . These bits are set to all ones by any MMX instruction, which correspond to the floating point representation of NaNs or infinities.
