G06F 7/60

Methods or arrangements for performing computations using a digital non-denominational number representation, i.e. number representation without radix; Computing devices using combinations of denominational and non-denominational quantity representations

Introduced: January 1980

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Methods or arrangements for processing data by operating upon the order or content of the data handled > Methods or arrangements for performing computations using a digital non-denominational number representation, i.e. number representation without radix; Computing devices using combinations of denominational and non-denominational quantity representations

CPC:

Methods or arrangements for processing data by operating upon the order or content of the data handled (logic circuits H03K19/00) > Methods or arrangements for performing computations using a digital non-denominational number representation, i.e. number representation without radix; Computing devices using combinations of denominational and non-denominational quantity representations

Of 8 combined children, 5 exist in both systems.

3 codes are CPC-only extensions.

2 shared codes have differing titles between IPC and CPC.

IPC defines codes here since 1980.
