WHAT DOES UNDERFLOW MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Arithmetic underflow

The term arithmetic underflow is a condition in a computer program where the result of a calculation is a smaller number than the computer can actually store in memory. Arithmetic underflow can occur when the true result of a floating point operation is smaller in magnitude than the smallest value representable as a normal floating point number in the target datatype. Underflow can in part be regarded as negative overflow of the exponent of the floating point value. For example, if the exponent part can represent values from −127 to 127, then a result with absolute value less than 2−127 may cause underflow.

Definition of underflow in the English dictionary

The definition of underflow in the dictionary is a condition that occurs when arithmetic operations produce results too small to store in the available register.
