Given a single precision floating point of 3.56. What is the IEEE-754 32 bit floating point format?
Nicholas M.
In single precision (IEEE-754 standard), 8 bits are used for storing the exponent (the bias is 127), and 23 bits are used for storing the mantissa. (a) What are the smallest and the largest positive numbers that can be stored in single precision? (b) What is the smallest value of the mantissa that can be stored?
