Fixed Point/ Floating Point

✅ Fixed Point

-3.141592 = (-) + (3) + (0.141592) need three parts

representation of real data type for a number that has fixed number of digits after radix point

👍🏻 no complicated logic
👍🏻 fixed accuracy
👎🏻 represent limited range of values
👎🏻 only can represent small number set
👎🏻 less flexible

✅ Floating Point

formulaic representation of real numbers as an apporoximation as to support trade off between range and precision

👍🏻 possible to represent large number set
👎🏻 slower, lower performance
👎🏻 accuracy varies
👎🏻 complex logic
