What are the steps to convert
1 - 110 0101 1010 - 0010 1000 1101 0111 1100 0011 1011 0101 0101 0101 0100 0000 0010, 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.
1
The next 11 bits contain the exponent:
110 0101 1010
The last 52 bits contain the mantissa:
0010 1000 1101 0111 1100 0011 1011 0101 0101 0101 0100 0000 0010
2. Convert the exponent from binary (from base 2) to decimal (in base 10).
The exponent is allways a positive integer.
110 0101 1010(2) =
1 × 210 + 1 × 29 + 0 × 28 + 0 × 27 + 1 × 26 + 0 × 25 + 1 × 24 + 1 × 23 + 0 × 22 + 1 × 21 + 0 × 20 =
1,024 + 512 + 0 + 0 + 64 + 0 + 16 + 8 + 0 + 2 + 0 =
1,024 + 512 + 64 + 16 + 8 + 2 =
1,626(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 = 1,626 - 1023 = 603
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).
