In [[computing]], a '''normal number''' is a non-zero number in a [[floating point|floating-point representation]] which is within the balanced range supported by a given floating-point format.

Line 30 ⟶ 31:

Non-zero numbers smaller in magnitude than the smallest normal number are called [[denormal]] (or subnormal) numbers. Zero is neither normal nor subnormal.
