Binary representation of a .NET Decimal -

Hi all, Quick question: How does a .net decimal type memory get bipartisan in representation

?

We all know how floating-point numbers are deposited and due to the reasons for disqualification, but I do not have any information about decimal except for the following

takes 128 bit of memory

2 ^ 96 + sign category

/ Li>

28 (sometimes 29?) Total significant digits in the number

Is there any way I can understand I am In me computer scientists demand answers and after an hour of research, I can not find it. It seems that there are so many futile bits or I'm just showing this wrong in my head, can someone please shed some light on this? Thank you.

For information that you want.

Actually this is a 96 bit integer, as a tetra, a signature bit, plus an exponent to say how many decimal place moves it to the right place.

To represent 3.261, you get an intent of a mantissa 3261, 0, a sign bit of (i.e. positive), and 3. Note that the decimal is not normal (deliberately) so you can use also 3.2610 using a mantissa of 32610 and an exponent 4, for example.

I have some more information in my article.
