– 14 – CSCE 212H Spring 2011 Floating Point in C C Guarantees Two Levels float single precision double double precisionConversions Casting between int, float, and double changes numeric values Double or float to int Truncates fractional part Like rounding toward zero Not defined when out of range »Generally saturates to TMin or TMax int to double Exact conversion, as long as int has ≤ 53 bit word size int to float Will round according to rounding mode

– 15 – CSCE 212H Spring 2011 IEEE 754 Rounding Algorithms 1.Round to nearest, ties to even – rounds to the nearest value; if the number falls midway it is rounded to the nearest value with an even (zero) least significant bit, which occurs 50% of the time; this is the default algorithm for binary floating-point and the recommended default for decimal 2.Round to nearest, ties away from zero – rounds to the nearest value; if the number falls midway it is rounded to the nearest value above (for positive numbers) or below (for negative numbers) 3.Round toward 0 – directed rounding towards zero (also called truncation) 4.Round toward – directed rounding towards positive infinity 5.Round toward – directed rounding towards negative infinity.
