The term "mantissa" is already used to refer to the scalar multiple in a number with an exponent. That is: mantissa * base ^ exponent. It will typically lie outside the range [0:1) My vote for this term would be "integral part" and "fractional part", for what it's worth. Obviously there aren't any existing standards. :) Andy -- Andrew J.

[Flightgear-devel] Numeric Terminology
Are there simple technical terms to distinguish the digits on the left side of the decimal point from those on the right?
