What are the three components of a floating point representation?
Think about the bits involved in the representation.
Explain how biased exponent works in next slide reference.
Recall the example of how we converted '20' into '147'.
What does the sign bit indicate in floating-point representation?
Remember the basic definition of sign in math.
The IEEE 754 standard is used for what?
Think of global computing standards.
Demonstrate how a number like 1.5 can be represented in both binary and floating-point format. Provide both representations.
Remember to normalize the representation before applying bias.
Given a 64-bit representation, explain how to calculate the range of representable values.
Consider how much you add based on the bits allocated for the exponent.
