Term: Fixed-Point Representation System

Description:

A fixed-point representation system is a method of representing and expressing numbers in a binary format. It is commonly used in computer systems and programming languages to handle fixed decimal places with a fixed number of bits. In this system, a specific number of bits are assigned to the integral part (before the radix point) and the fractional part (after the radix point). It allows for efficient storage and manipulation of decimal values within a limited range and precision.
