在 Hacker News Daily 上看到「DEC64: Decimal Floating Point」:
公式是:
value = coefficient * 10exponent
是以 10 為底。
0 與 NaN 是特別處理:
There are 255 possible representations of zero. They are all considered to be equal.
There is a special value called nan that has a coefficient of 0 and an exponent of -128. The result of division by zero is nan. nan is also the result of operations that produce results that are too large to be represented. nan is equal to itself.
