Decimal data type:
- Some
programming languages gives a build-in decimal data type to represent non-repeating decimal fractions. - It could be implemented either a fixed-point number or floating-point number.
- The denominator would be set to a fixed power of ten in the fixed-point case.
- A variable exponent would denote the power of ten to which the mantissa of the number is multiplied in the floating-point case.
