What is floating point in computing?

A floating point number is, in normal mathematical terms, a real number. It's of the form: 1.0, 64.369, -55.5555555, and so forth. It basically means that the number can have a number a digits after...

A method for storing and calculating numbers in which the decimal points do not line up as in fixed point numbers. The significant digits are stored as a unit called the "mantissa," and the location...

It is the point where your computer gains access to a network. In wireless systems it usually is a router.

in fixed point processor there is no separate mantissa and exponent part usually the nuumber can be represented from -1.000000to 1.0000000 wheras in floating point processor mantissa and exponent are...

Assuming you're asking about IEEE-754 floating-point numbers, then the three parts are base, digits, and exponent.
