fixed-point
Self-mapping mathematical element
Fixed-point describes a number representation where the decimal (or binary) point stays in a constant position, unlike floating-point where it moves.
In computing, fixed-point arithmetic trades range for speed and simplicity: The audio processor uses fixed-point math for efficiency.
In mathematics, a fixed point is a value that remains unchanged under a function—if you apply the function to it, you get the same value back.
