A common measure of computer performance is the number of operations using these numbers that can be performed in a second, a measure known as FLOPS.
Rounding errors mean that testing for safe division with these numbers requires care to avoid an overload. The standard formats must comprise two kinds of "Not a number" values, two infinites, and finite numbers for these numbers, whose currently accepted standard is IEEE 754. A common measure of computer performance is the number of operations using these numbers that can be performed in a second, a measure known as FLOPS. For 10 points, name these numbers that are represented using significant digits and an exponent.
