AOA - More data representation
1) floating point (real) numeric format
a) Limitation of floating point arithmatic
- Normal algebraic rules ----> infinite precision arithmetic (as long as overflow does not occur)
b) when doing adding and subtracting in scientific notation, we must adjust two values so their exponent are the same
c) Guard bits/Guard digits --> to improve the accuracy
2) Binary Coded Decimal (BCD)
3) Character sets: a) ASCII b) Unicode
