Binade
In software engineering and numerical analysis, a binade is a set of numbers in a binary floating-point format that all have the same sign and exponent. In other words, a binade is the interval [ 2 e , 2 e + 1 ) {\displaystyle [2^{e},2^{e+1})} or ( − 2 e + 1 , − 2 e ] {\displaystyle (-2^{e+1},-2^{e}]} for some integer value e {\displaystyle e} , that is, the set of real numbers or floating-point numbers x {\displaystyle x} of the same sign such that 2 e ≤ | x | < 2 e + 1 {\displaystyle 2^{e}\leq |x|<2^{e+1}} .
