ABSTRACT:
A program-controlled computer includes a first unit for executing an addition or a substraction on a first floating-point data and a second floating-point data inputted thereto, a second unit for receiving the exponents of the first and second floating-point data, for determining whether or not an absolute value of a difference between the exponents exceeds a predetermined value defined as a number of digits of a mantissa of the first or second floating-point data, and for generating an interrupt signal when the absolute value exceeds the number of digits, and third unit connected to the second unit for interrupting a program being executed in response to the interrupt signal so as to execute an interrupt processing program associated with the interrupt signal.
