In computing, a floating-point value is a method to store real number in computer memory. The name refers to that the radix point is can vary, unlike [[fixed-point]] which has a fixed radix point. All floating-point values can be written as <math>a \times b ^ c</math> for integer values <math>a</math>, <math>b</math> and <math>c</math>.

== IEEE ==
IEEE specifies multiple standards for floating-point numbers of different sizes. The following table shows the most used:

{| class="wikitable"
! Name !! Size
|-
| Half || 16-bit
|-
| Float || 32-bit
|-
| Double || 64-bit
|}
