ABSTRACT
In fixed-point operations, the radix point is in a fixed location in the operand. The radix point (or binary point for radix 2) is to the immediate right of the low-order bit for integers, or to the immediate left of the high-order bit for fractions. The operands in a computer can be expressed by any of the following number representations: unsigned, sign-magnitude, diminished-radix complement, or radix complement.
