Decoding

The algorithm for decoding only differs insignificantly from the one for encoding. In general the procedure simply examines, in whose sub-interval the code word currently is.

The difficulty for both en- and decoding is to establish a well-suited algorithm for eliminating and loading of further significant digits. Rounding errors and too small interval sizes has to be avoided in any case. Those algorithms were not part of the former flow charts.
