Help with a floating point binary number (GA inside)

I have no idea how to help you, sorry D:

But thanks for TB :)

boo

mmmh.. idk.. :|

btw, thanks for random ga ;)

(-1)^(sign) (mantissa) (base)^(exponent), correct?
In binary they're noted as "sign exponent mantissa".
so that means:
sign = -
exponent = 0111111, IBM uses a bias of 64 for the exponent so its 63-64=-1
mantissa = 01110000 00000000 00000000, so that's 0.0111 in binary or 0.4375 in decimal

So if I'm not wrong it's

• 0.4375 * 16^-1 ~= -0.02734375

Now this just makes me wonder where you'd bump into this number and why you want it in binary. I'm guessing I just did your homework for you? ;)

I think the number is -0.02734375 (base 10) if anyone can confirm.
