3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is the purpose of the sign bit in floating-point representation?
Think about what might be needed to represent negative numbers.
How many bits are used for the exponent in a 32-bit IEEE 754 representation?
Consider the total number of bits allocated in the format.
What does the sign bit in a floating-point number indicate?
Remember its role in representing negative numbers.
True or False: The IEEE 754 standard allows both positive and negative exponents to be stored directly.
Think about the purpose of bias in exponent representation.
Convert the number 2.75 into its IEEE 754 32-bit floating-point representation.
Remember the normalization process and how to compute the biased exponent.
If you have a 64-bit representation with a significand of 1.1101 and biased exponent of 1024, what is the actual exponent when decoded?
Remember to subtract the bias from the biased exponent to get the actual exponent.
