What are the steps to convert
1 - 111 1000 1010 - 0001 1101 0111 1000 1010 0001 1101 0111 1000 1000 1111 1111 1011, 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:
111 1000 1010
The last 52 bits contain the mantissa:
0001 1101 0111 1000 1010 0001 1101 0111 1000 1000 1111 1111 1011
2. Convert the exponent from binary (from base 2) to decimal (in base 10).
The exponent is allways a positive integer.
111 1000 1010(2) =
1 × 210 + 1 × 29 + 1 × 28 + 1 × 27 + 0 × 26 + 0 × 25 + 0 × 24 + 1 × 23 + 0 × 22 + 1 × 21 + 0 × 20 =
1,024 + 512 + 256 + 128 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 8 + 0 + 2 + 0 =
1,024 + 512 + 256 + 128 + 8 + 2 =
1,930(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 = 1,930 - 1023 = 907
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).
