*******
GNU Emacs supports two numeric data types: "integers" and "floating
point numbers". Integers are whole numbers such as -3, 0, 7, 13, and
511. Their values are exact. Floating point numbers are numbers with
fractional parts, such as -4.5, 0.0, or 2.71828. They can also be
expressed in exponential notation: 1.5e2 equals 150; in this example,
`e2' stands for ten to the second power, and that is multiplied by 1.5.
Floating point values are not exact; they have a fixed, limited amount
of precision.
* Menu:
* Integer Basics:: Representation and range of integers.
* Float Basics:: Representation and range of floating point.
* Predicates on Numbers:: Testing for numbers.
* Comparison of Numbers:: Equality and inequality predicates.
* Numeric Conversions:: Converting float to integer and vice versa.
* Arithmetic Operations:: How to add, subtract, multiply and divide.
* Rounding Operations:: Explicitly rounding floating point numbers.
* Bitwise Operations:: Logical and, or, not, shifting.
* Math Functions:: Trig, exponential and logarithmic functions.
* Random Numbers:: Obtaining random integers, predictable or not.
