CS302 Assignment Fall 2024 (BC230211754)

Solution:

32-Bit floating point number is represented as follows.


 1 bit for Sign (S)
 8 bit for Exponent (E)
 23 bit for the Mantisa (M)
Separate the parts
Sign Bit (S) = 1
Exponent (E) = 10001001
Mantissa (M) = 101101010111010111000111
The sign bit determines the number is +ve or -ve.
If the Sign bit is 0 then its +ve.
If the sign bit is 1 then its -ve.
Here the sign bit 1 so the number will be negative.

Now we convert the exponent to decimal to find the actual exponent.


10001001
=1*(27+0) *(26+0) *(25+0)*(24+1)*(23+0)*(22+0)*(21+1)
=128+0+0+0+8+0+0+1
=137
As we know that IEEE754 format uses a bias of 127 for 32-bit floating-point
numbers.
So, we subtract 127 from 137 to know the actual exponent value
137-127=10
The actual exponent is 10
Now we normalize the mantissa and convert it into decimal.
In IEEE754 format the mantissa is assumed to have an implicit leading 1 in
normalizing form so we can write the mantissa as below
1.1011010101101011000111
Now converting this mantissa into decimal
The integer part is 1 for the fractional part we interpret each binary digit after the
decimal point as a negative power of 2.
=1*(2-1+0)*(2-2+1)*(2-3+1)*(2-4+0)*(2-5+1)*(2-6+0)*(2-7+1)*(2-8+0)*(2-9+1) *(2-
10
+1)*(2-11+0)*(2-12+1)*(2-13+0)*(2-14+1)*(2-15+1)*(2-16+1)*(2-17+0)*(2-18+0) *(2-

+0)*(2-20+1)*(2-21+1)*(2-22+1)*(2-23+1)
=0.5+0+0.125+0.0625+0+0.0156+0+0.0039+0+0.0009+0.0004+0+0.0001+0+0.000
03+0.00001+0.000007+0+0+0+0+0+0
=0.7109375
So, the mantissa in decimal is
Integer part + fractional part
=1+0.7109375
=1.7109375
Apply the exponent
=1.7109375*210
=1.7109375*1024
=1751.5
By applying the sign:
As we know that the sign bit is 1 the final value will be negative
That is
=-1751.5
