Triple-double (volleyball) typically combining assists, digs, and either kills or blocks. A triple-double is a rare event, and indicates outstanding all-around individual performance. Triple-double (volleyball) Triple-double is defined as an individual performance in which a player accumulates a double digit number total during one match in three of five statistical categories: Aces, kills, blocks, digs, and assists. The expression probably came from similar basketball jargon; the term "triple-double" was coined by former Los Angeles Lakers public relations director Bruce Jolesch in order to showcase Magic Johnson's versatility. The most common way for a player to achieve a triple-double is with kills, blocks,
Quadruple-precision floating-point format switch) or simply as being synonymous with double precision (e.g. Microsoft Visual C++), rather than as quadruple precision. On a few other architectures, some C/C++ compilers implement codice_8 as quadruple precision, e.g. gcc on PowerPC (as double-double) and SPARC, or the Sun Studio compilers on SPARC. Even if codice_8 is not quadruple precision, however, some C/C++ compilers provide a nonstandard quadruple-precision type as an extension. For example, gcc provides a quadruple-precision type called codice_14 for x86, x86-64 and Itanium CPUs, and on PowerPC as IEEE 128-bit floating-point using the -mfloat128-hardware or -mfloat128 options; and some versions of Intel's C/C++ compiler
