  fixed-point
       
           A number representation scheme where a number R
          is represented by an integer N such that R=N*B, where B is
          the (assumed) base of the representation.
       
          On computers with no floating-point unit fixed-point
          calculations can be significantly faster as all the operations
          are basically integer operations.  Apart from that,
          fixed-point representation has the advantage of having uniform
          density, i.e., the smallest resolvable difference of the
          representation is B throughout the representable range, in
          sharp contrast to floating-point representations.
