Line 1: ''See also [[fixed point (mathematics)]].'' ---- In [[computing]], a '''fixed-point number''' representation is a [[real data type]] for a number that has a fixed number of digits after the decimal (or binary or hexadecimal) point. For example, a fixed-point number with 4 digits after the decimal point could be used to store numbers such as 1.3467, 281243.3234 and 0.1000, but would round 1.0301789 to 1.0302 and 0.0000654 to 0.0001.
