Question
Assume we are using the simpl model for floating point representation as given in this book(the representation uses a 14 bit format, 5 bits for the exponent with a bais of 16, a noramlized mantissa of 8 bitsm abd a single bit for the number:
a. Show the computer would represent the numbers 100.0 and 0.25 using this floating point format.
b. Show how the computer would add the two floadting point numbers in part a by changing one of the numbers so they both expressed using the same power of 2.
c. Show how the computer would represent the sum in part b using the given floatingpoint representation. What decimal value for the sum is the computer actually storing?
Explain.
Explanation / Answer
a)using for loop
