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.

In SQL, the datatype commonly used for a basic pay scale is typically DECIMAL or NUMERIC, as these data types allow for precise representation of currency values with fixed decimal points. For example, DECIMAL(10, 2) can store values up to 10 digits in total, with 2 digits after the decimal point. Alternatively, FLOAT or DOUBLE can be used for approximate values, but DECIMAL is preferred for financial calculations to avoid rounding errors.

Straight binary coding is a method of representing numerical values using a binary format, where each decimal digit is represented by a fixed number of binary bits. In this system, digits 0 through 9 are typically encoded in 4 bits, allowing for 16 possible combinations, which is sufficient to represent all decimal digits. This coding is straightforward and ensures that each decimal digit corresponds directly to its binary equivalent, facilitating easy conversion between binary and decimal systems.
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.
The rate of currency is usually fixed based on the stock exchange.
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.
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.
