0 - 011 1111 1110 - 0110 0111 1111 0111 1100 1110 1101 1001 0001 0110 1001 0101 1101: 64 bit double precision IEEE 754 binary floating point standard representation number converted to decimal system (base ten)
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 1111 1110
The last 52 bits contain the mantissa:
0110 0111 1111 0111 1100 1110 1101 1001 0001 0110 1001 0101 1101
2. Convert the exponent from binary (from base 2) to decimal (in base 10).
The exponent is allways a positive integer.
011 1111 1110(2) =
0 × 210 + 1 × 29 + 1 × 28 + 1 × 27 + 1 × 26 + 1 × 25 + 1 × 24 + 1 × 23 + 1 × 22 + 1 × 21 + 0 × 20 =
0 + 512 + 256 + 128 + 64 + 32 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 0 =
512 + 256 + 128 + 64 + 32 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 =
1,022(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 = 1,022 - 1023 = -1
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).
