A million thanks to you Steven.. You made this so much easier to many of us!

Finally some good video. I searched the yt for floating point explanation and kinda got hang of it but noone cared to explain it so closely but you helped me man, thanks.

dude, you don't know how much you have helped me, thank you and regards from Argentina!

Thank you so so much! I finally can finish my assignment and also use this video to study for my test :)

Thank you for this explanation. This has shown me a different approach.

I think one reason for using the bias instead of two's complement is to maintain the order of the numbers with respect to their value. So, the binary inequality x > y is valid.

Can you explain the significance of -1^s? S may only be 0 or 1, and -1^0 and -1^1 both equate to -1. Due to this, I am getting the correct answer for every number I try, but it is always a negative.

How do you find out the sign of the number? I get that 0= pos and 1 = neg but what made him come to that conclusion is it based on the first digit?

Thank you, this was very helpful! But for the sake of curiosity/masochism, then why does 0x00000000 = 0.0? [0] [00000000] [00000000000000000000000] Sign: -1^0 = 1 Exp: (0 - 127) = -127 M: (1 + 0.0) = 1.0 (1) * (1) * (2^-127) = 5.8775e-39, or 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000058775 Which is extremely close to zero, but still not quite. If it is simply rounded to 0.0 at some point because the number is ridiculously small, i'd understand, but then when I enter 0x00000001 into any online converter, it comes out as 1.4013e-45 which is somehow even smaller. Is it just a rule that 0x00000000 is interpreted as 0.0?

it's just a rule, it's a special case, at least that was what I was thought. also, for instance, minus infinity is represented by sign = 1, exp = 255 and M = 0

@Aiven197

Жыл бұрын

It's a special case. When all bits in the exponent are 0, the formula changes and now Exp = 1-bias (127 for 32 bits) and M = 0+mantissa. As you can see, with this 0x0 = 0.0. Another special case is when all bits in the exponent are 1, where you have 3 options: -If the sign bit is 0 and all bits in the mantissa are 0, then the value is infinity -If the sign bit is 1 and all the bits in the mantissa are 0, then the value is minus infinity -If the sign bit is 0 or 1 and any bits in the mantissa are not 0, then the "value" is NaN (Not a number)

When to take 128 and 127 exponent in biased adding exponent

thnks..

why would you want answer in that form as oppossed to -8.2152949e-34 OR 0.00000000000000000000000000000000002152949 ? Any other reason besides convenience?

That's literally how numbers work, bro. -- Like... 2^(-4) + 2^(-8) == 0.06640625. -- Is your question about how negative exponents work? -- 'cause ... I mean... just use a calculator? -- If you really need to do it in your head, instead of using negative exponents (i.e. each bit having a value of 2^(-1), 2^(-2), etc..) -- just assign each bit fractional power of two values; that is: 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 and so on (it's a bit more readable IMHO). -- So, in this case, you're just adding 1/16 + 1/256 == 0.06640625.

Don't you need to do a two's complement to the number first? As far as I understand, the decimal representation of a negative binary number, using two's complement, is -(two's complement(the number)).

how does this process differ from converting "ms binary" format single precision binary to decimal?

Well actually the reason for not representing the exponent using 2's complement is not unknown. IEEE did it so that it was easier to sort. In a biased expression. You can just look at the exponent and say whether a number is greater than or less than another number. If it was in a 2's complement format then a quick sorting would take more time since you had to convert the 2's complement and then compare

@Antchovi

Highest is 128, lowest is -127. If you think about it rationally, since the exponent is 8 bits, you know that if it's unsigned 1111 1111 gives you 255, and 0000 0000 gives you 0. Since the bias is -127, you just subtract that from whatever you have in the exponent. so the highest possible number is 255-127= 128, and the lowest possible is 0-127= -127. Does that help?

+BCGJohnny because if you have studied binary representations you would know that in biased representation for n-bits(this case 8) 00000000(binary) maps to -(n^2) -1 and other goes upward. Since you want the real value u have to convert. For example, if your exponent u get a value for 0000000( normal binary) u get 0(decimal) but basically in biased representation it is -127(decimal)
