What are the three components of a floating-point number?
Think about how a number is broken down in representation.
What is the purpose of the biased exponent?
How does this simplify calculations?
What represents the exponent in floating-point numbers?
Remember how we discussed the components of floating-point representation.
True or False: The IEEE 754 standard only applies to 32-bit floating point representations.
Consider the variations we covered in class.
A program needs to represent the number -38.25 using floating-point representation. Outline the steps considering the IEEE 754 format.
Start by separating the whole and fractional parts for conversion.
Given the floating-point number formatted as 0 10000010 10010000000000000000000, decode it into decimal. What steps do you take?
Focus on each component individually and remember to adjust for the sign.
