Question:
Write down the binary bit pattern to represent -1.5625 × 10-1 assuming a format similar to that employed by the DEC PDP-8 (the left most 12 bits are the exponent stored as a two’s complement number, and the rightmost 24 bits are the fraction stored as a two’s complement number). No hidden 1 is used. Comment on how the range and accuracy of this 36-bit pattern compares to the single and double precision IEEE 754 standards.
