- Convert
0.6 to IEEE single precision format.
- Convert
BEEF0000h from IEEE single precision floating point format to a decimal
number.
- The
number 4,000,000 can be represented exactly in IEEE single precision format.
What is the next largest floating point value that can be represented
exactly in IEEE single precision format? Give both its decimal value and
it’s IEEE representation.
- What
are the largest and smallest values IEEE single precision format can
represent? (Hint – there is really only one question here!) You must show
the IEEE format for the number, and write the base 2 scientific notation
for the number, but you don’t need to figure out its decimal value.
