/ˌɛfˈkɑnvərt/ noun

Definition

A computer function for converting between floating-point and other numerical formats in programming or system operations.

Etymology

Combination of 'f' (floating-point) and 'convert' (to change from one form to another), used in programming language libraries and system functions.

Kelly Says

Fconvert functions handle the tricky business of translating between how humans write numbers (1.5) and how computers actually store them in binary!
