Floating-point exponentiation under COBOL II can yield more accurate results than fixed-point exponentiation. In addition, both VS COBOL and COBOL II do computations of fixed-point data items with large exponents faster in floating-point. The floating-point computations should even be more accurate than fixed-point computations. According to the text, which is the correct answer?

• A.

  Floating-point computations should be even more accurate than fixed-point computations.

• B.

  Floating-point computations are more accurate than fixed-point computations.

• C.

  Floating-point computations are less accurate than fixed-point computations.

• D.

  Floating-point computations aren't more accurate than fixed-point computations.
