Line 12:
Most floating point representations in computers use base 2 values, which cannot exactly represent
most fractions that are easily represented in base 10.
For example, one-tenth (.1) and one-hundredth (.01) can
by base-2 floating point representations, while they can be represented exactly in fixed-point representations — one simply stores the data values multiplied by the appropriate power of 10.
