What are the steps to convert
0 - 100 0000 1100 - 1100 0010 0000 0011 1110 0100 1110 0010 1010 0111 1100 1100 0110, 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:
100 0000 1100
The last 52 bits contain the mantissa:
1100 0010 0000 0011 1110 0100 1110 0010 1010 0111 1100 1100 0110
2. Convert the exponent from binary (from base 2) to decimal (in base 10).
The exponent is allways a positive integer.
100 0000 1100(2) =
1 × 210 + 0 × 29 + 0 × 28 + 0 × 27 + 0 × 26 + 0 × 25 + 0 × 24 + 1 × 23 + 1 × 22 + 0 × 21 + 0 × 20 =
1,024 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 8 + 4 + 0 + 0 =
1,024 + 8 + 4 =
1,036(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 = 1,036 - 1023 = 13
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).
1100 0010 0000 0011 1110 0100 1110 0010 1010 0111 1100 1100 0110(2) =
