Hypothetical Decimal Computer A hypothetical computer is introduced, a decimal one which can operate also in four modes. The machine has 16 bit numbers, with the first bit as sign bit. The exponent is stored as a binary integer and the coefficient is stored as a sequence of decimal digits. In all modes the exponent base is 10. So in fact this computer is a multi-exponent computer with base 10. In listing the four modes are: Exponent coefficient Mode size bits size structureBCD 3 14-12 12 3 BCD-digits of 4 bits each DPD-1 5 14-10 10 3 digits in 10 bit DPD-code DPD-2 3 14-12 12 3 digits in 10 bit DPD-code preceded by one 'digit' of 2 bits PDE value=0, 1, 2 10+3 4 digits, 3 of them in 10 bit DPD-code and one combined with exponent field *****************************************************************Submitted by ADARSH.S.V.NAIR*******************************************************************
A computer programmer can use fractions in his/her program simply by turning the fraction into a decimal. In a language like java, there is not extensive support nor a primitive data type for fractions, but you can store fractions as their decimal equivalents in things such as floats and doubles.
The type of decimal that has a final digit is a Terminating Decimal!!! Hope you enjoy!
33.33% as a decimal is 0.3333

Decimal 30 = binary 11110. The decimal binary code (BCD), however, is 11 0000.

No.
BCD is a decimal number. BCD is one specific way to store decimal numbers in computer memory.
Each Accumulator had 10 decimal places, two Accumulators could be connected for 20 decimal place double precision.
The computer. And it is not limited to 500 million decimal digits; currently it is possible to calculate pi to several TRILLION decimal places.
Less It is a basic decimal and that it is describing computer capacity has nothing to do with how the decimal works
Octal and hexadecimal will be particularly useful if you are studying computer technologies.
The book would probably be listed under computer & video games which is 794.8 under the Dewy Decimal system.
The computer was HITACHI SR 2201
