A fixed-point number representation displays numbers with a fixed number of decimal places. This means that the number will always have the same number of digits after the decimal point, regardless of the value of the number itself.

The rate of currency is usually fixed based on the stock exchange.
Repeating decimals consist of a fixed string of digits which repeat infinitely in the decimal representation of a number. These may start anywhere after a finite number of digits.
In a comma delimited file, data is stored as free-form text with each value separated by a comma. Text data may or may not be quoted and numbers appear with signs and decimals as appropriate. Example: "my data", 1, 2.5, 3 A fixed format file stores each value in a fixed position in the record. There are no delimiters in the record and you must know the format of the record and fields to properly interpret the information. Numeric fields usually do not contain decimal points (decimal position is implied by the column format) and the sign may be in a leading position or trailing position, or it may be 'zoned', meaning the sign is indicated by altering the lead bit in either the leading or trailing character. Negative digits would appear as a letter. In the above example, if it was fixed format with 4 fields with the first being text of 10 characters followed by 3 numbers with 6 digits with 2 implied decimal places (i.e. 9999.99) the data would appear as: my data 000100000250000300
The price of a floating currency is determined by the currency exchange market while the price of a fixed currency is connected to the price of some other commodity.
No.
Check the options in Excel under the tools menu. I found the answer eventually. Tools/options, edit tab. Fixed decimal places. Set this to zero.
A fixed currency is used in countries where the value of the money is closely tied to the value of gold, or the value of another country's currency. A floating currency is one that changes depending on the state of the market, i. e. supply and demand.
That will vary on the programming language used, but in general, it is a data type with a fixed number of decimal digits - usually four - which internally stores the number it represented as a whole number - for four digits, that would mean multiplying it by 10,000. It is commonly used to store currency values, but it can also be used for other type of data, when you are sure you won't need more than four decimals; its benefit is that additions and subtractions with this data type are exact - they don't suffer from rounding errors that appear when converting between decimal and binary, with other data types.
