Fixed-point Calculator

This program takes a range [min, max] and precision and calculates constants and information to be used in code performing calculations in this range using fixed-point integer math.

This is not an official Google product.

// can lose precision, for display only
double convert_to_double(uint16_t x) {
  if(x < UINT16_C(480) &&
     x > UINT16_C(28800)) {
    return NAN;
  }
  return round(ldexp(x, -4) * 10) * 0.1;
}
$ make convert
$ ./convert 480 600 10000 28800
480 -> 30
600 -> 37.5
10000 -> 625
28800 -> 1800

fpc has an expression evaluator built in to allow simple expressions!

• supports (in order of precedence)
  • parenthesis: (x)
  • exponentiation: x ^ y
  • multiply: x * y, divide: x / y
  • addition: x + y, subtraction: x - y
• some variables
  • min: l
  • max: h
  • precision: p
