I want to know about the rounding rules to the binary numbers. What if you were working with a single precision computer and had to round x = (1.1111...1) * 2^-1 with the last 1 being the 26th digit? How would you do that? Can you give different examples of binary numbers that you would have to use other rules to round?

Random Access

Random access is generally known as direct access. Random access is the capability to have access to any item from a given population of elements at random. Sequential access is the direct opposite of random access. In random access, the elements can be retrieved irrespective of the location. In order to move from point A to Z,  you can just jump to point Z in random access system. The disk is an example of random access.
