🔹 Fixed-Point Representation
Fixed-point representation is a method used to represent real numbers (with fractions) using a fixed number of digits before and after the binary or decimal point.
It’s mainly used in embedded systems, digital signal processing, and systems without floating-point hardware.
🔸 Key Concept
-
The decimal (or binary) point is fixed in position.
-
Part of the bits represent the integer portion.
-
The remaining bits represent the fractional portion.
