Definition of fixed point in English: fixed pointnoun 1Physics A well-defined reproducible temperature which can be used as a reference point, e.g. one defined by a change of phase. Example sentencesExamples - The Fahrenheit and Celsius scales are based on two fixed points.
2Computing as modifier Denoting a mode of representing a number by a single sequence of digits whose values depend on their location relative to a predetermined radix point. these computers perform arithmetic in fixed-point binary format Often contrasted with floating-point Example sentencesExamples - I was happy to see a discussion of fixed-point vs. floating-point math in the February issue.
- He is a longtime proponent of fixed-point arithmetic.
- Double-precision fixed-point would employ two times 24, or a 48-bit word length; double-precision floating-point would use a two times 32, or 64-bit mantissa.
- Ada does non-integer fixed-point types, which is very rare.
- Three units of the five deal with fixed-point operations, and the remaining two - with floating-point operations.
