Computer Science

We present algorithms for accurately converting floating-point numbers to decimal representation. [...] Key Method Our second algorithm improves on the first one by using the additional bits to produce a shorter (often the shortest) result. Finally we propose a third version that can be used when the shortest output is a requirement. The last algorithm either produces optimal decimal representations (with respect to shortness and rounding) or rejects its input. For IEEE 754 double-precision numbers and 64-bit…Expand Abstract
