= Computer arithmetic algorithms
{wiki=Category:Computer_arithmetic_algorithms}
Computer arithmetic algorithms are techniques and methods used to perform mathematical operations on numbers, particularly in the context of digital computers. These algorithms are essential for implementing basic arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and more complex functions like exponentiation and logarithms. Given that computers work with a finite representation of numbers (like integers or floating-point values), computer arithmetic also involves handling issues related to precision, rounding, overflow, and underflow.
