Standard Format Theorems #
Connections between the generic format predicate and the concrete FIX, FLX, and FLT families. The fixed-point equivalence is the first instance of the generic pattern used by the floating-point families.
The generic format generated by FIXExp emin is contained in FIXFormat emin.
Every fixed-point value belongs to the generic format generated by FIXExp emin.
FIXFormat and the corresponding generic format describe the same real values.
A nonnegative radix power agrees with the corresponding natural-number power.
The generic FLXExp format satisfies the explicit FLX mantissa bound.
Every explicit bounded-mantissa FLX value belongs to the corresponding generic format.
FLXFormat is exactly the generic format generated by FLXExp.
The generic FLTExp format satisfies the explicit FLT mantissa and exponent bounds.
Every explicit bounded-mantissa FLT value belongs to the corresponding generic format.
FLTFormat is exactly the generic format generated by FLTExp.
