0 - 100 0010 0011 - 1111 1101 1100 0111 0000 0100 0011 0101 1110 1111 1010 1000 1000: 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:
100 0010 0011
The last 52 bits contain the mantissa:
1111 1101 1100 0111 0000 0100 0011 0101 1110 1111 1010 1000 1000
2. Convert the exponent from binary (from base 2) to decimal (in base 10).
The exponent is allways a positive integer.
100 0010 0011(2) =
1 × 210 + 0 × 29 + 0 × 28 + 0 × 27 + 0 × 26 + 1 × 25 + 0 × 24 + 0 × 23 + 0 × 22 + 1 × 21 + 1 × 20 =
1,024 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 32 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 2 + 1 =
1,024 + 32 + 2 + 1 =
1,059(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 = 1,059 - 1023 = 36
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).
