The 5 occurrences in these 2 places should be called
floating-point result
which also appears in the standard for the same concept elsewhere.
You also see
floating values - 4 times
and
floating-point values - 4 times
which are the same thing. I prefer the latter.
Apart from the occurrence of "floating-point", the majority of ~650 times
the adjective floating occurs followed by a space is for either a
floating literal
or
floating type
Thanks - Damian
