In the IEEE 754-2008 standard (referred to as IEEE 754 henceforth), a floating-point representation is an unencoded member of a floating-point format which represents either a finite number, a signed infinity, or some kind of NaN. An element of the subset of floating-point representations consisting of finite numbers and signed infinities is called a floating-point number.
