0 - 011 0111 0010 - 1000 0001 0000 0001 1011 1001 1001 0001 0000 0011 0000 1011 1000: 64 bit double precision IEEE 754 binary floating point representation standard converted to decimal
What are the steps to convert
0 - 011 0111 0010 - 1000 0001 0000 0001 1011 1001 1001 0001 0000 0011 0000 1011 1000, a 64 bit double precision IEEE 754 binary floating point representation standard to decimal?
1. Identify the elements that make up the binary representation of the number:
The first bit (the leftmost) indicates the sign,
1 = negative, 0 = positive.
0
The next 11 bits contain the exponent:
011 0111 0010
The last 52 bits contain the mantissa:
1000 0001 0000 0001 1011 1001 1001 0001 0000 0011 0000 1011 1000
2. Convert the exponent from binary (from base 2) to decimal (in base 10).
The exponent is allways a positive integer.
011 0111 0010(2) =
0 × 210 + 1 × 29 + 1 × 28 + 0 × 27 + 1 × 26 + 1 × 25 + 1 × 24 + 0 × 23 + 0 × 22 + 1 × 21 + 0 × 20 =
0 + 512 + 256 + 0 + 64 + 32 + 16 + 0 + 0 + 2 + 0 =
512 + 256 + 64 + 32 + 16 + 2 =
882(10)
3. Adjust the exponent.
Subtract the excess bits: 2(11 - 1) - 1 = 1023,
that is due to the 11 bit excess/bias notation.
The exponent, adjusted = 882 - 1023 = -141
4. Convert the mantissa from binary (from base 2) to decimal (in base 10).
The mantissa represents the fractional part of the number (what comes after the whole part of the number, separated from it by a comma).
