Floating Point Operations refer to calculations involving numbers that have decimal points, allowing for a wide range of values. These operations are essential in computer programming and scientific computations, as they enable precise representation of real numbers, including very small and very large values. In computing, floating point numbers are typically represented using a standard format, such as IEEE 754. This format breaks down a number into three parts: the sign, the exponent, and the mantissa. This structure allows computers to perform arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division on these numbers efficiently.
