I am a newbie in the world of DSP. I have gone through the theoretical literature of DSP basics, DFT, FFT, FIR filters and IIR filters, along with some other basic stuff.

Can somebody plz tell me apart from data range, what are the differences between 'integer' and 'q1.15' format. In this case both are 16-bit. Which format will give me more precession?? And which will require less computational work from the processor??
