Program Plan Intro
Tiny switch that can be set either “on” or “off”:
- • The tiny switch that can be set to be either “on” or “off” is called as bit.
- • A bit can be limitedly used to represent a state.
- • The bit can be represented using two different values or numbers that indicate whether the bit is turned on or off.

- Solution Floating point representation: It is defined as the representation of floating numbers. It includes sign bit, exponent, and mantissa bits. Based on precision it has 2 types. 1. For IEEE 754 single-precision floating-point numbers, what is the exponent of a denormalized floating-point number in decimal? Solution: In IEEE 754 single-precision, exponent bits are 8. Therefore exponent = 2 ^(n-1) -1 = 2^(8-1) -1 = 127 OPTION D 2. For IEEE 754 single-precision floating-point numbers, how many bits for mantissa? Solution: In IEEE 754 single-precision, there are 23 bits for mantissa. sign = 1 bit exponent = 8 bits mantissa = 23 bits 3. For IEEE 754 single-precision floating-point numbers, which of the following is an example of NAN? Solution: In IEEE 754 single-precision, NAN is a special value where all exponents bits are 1's and the mantissa is non zero. a. 1 111 1 111 0000 0000 1101 0000 0000 0000 Exponent is not all 1's.
