Consider the following 9-bit floating point representation based on the IEEE floating point format: • The most-significant bit is the sign bit. • The next four bits are the exponent. • The least-significant four bits are the significand. The rules are like those in the IEEE standard (normalized, denormalized, representation of 0, infinity, and NAN). Please fill in the empty boxes in the table below. For the Value field, you can write the value either as a fraction (e.g. 3/4 or 4(1/2)) or as an integer times a power of 2 (e.g. 3 x 2-² or 9x2-¹). Number zero closest negative to zero largest positive n/a n/a n/a n/a Value 0.0 -5.0 -2-4+2-6 (12)-2-2 (1)-2¹+(1)-2-² sign bit 0 exponent 0000 significand 0000 Consider the following 9-bit floating point representation based on the IEEE floating point format: • The most-significant bit is the sign bit. • The next four bits are the exponent. • The least-significant four bits are the significand.
