Fixed-Point Representation

🔹 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.
