According to the IEEE 754 protocols, compute the following values:
i) The greatest, positive, normal, floating-point number has a binary representation of
Sign Exponent Mantissa
0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
Derive its decimal value?
ii) The smallest, positive, normal, floating-point number has a binary representation of
Sign Exponent Mantissa
0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Derive its decimal value?
iii) The greatest, positive, subnormal, floating-point number has a binary representation of
Sign Exponent Mantissa
0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
Derive its decimal value?
iv) The smallest, positive, subnormal, floating-point number that is greater than 0 has a binary representation of (recall that 0_10 = 0 0000 0000000_2)
Sign Exponent Mantissa
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
