Claims31
A method, comprising:
- controlling an output device via an output interface, wherein controlling the output device comprises:
- storing a first integer portion and a first integer sign bit of a first numerical value in a first storage area of a computer, and
- storing a first fractional portion and a first fractional portion sign bit of the first numerical value in a second storage area of the computer.
A device comprising:
- means for interfacing output;
- means for controlling an output device via the means for interfacing output, wherein the means for controlling the output device comprises:
- means for storing integer portions of numerical values, configured to store a first integer portion and a first integer sign bit of a first numerical value;
- and
- means for storing fractional portions of the numerical values, configured to store a first fractional portion and a first fractional portion sign bit of the first numerical value.
