A machine uses 36-bit word to represent single-precision floating point numbers as fol- lows: S 11-bit exponent (E) 24-bit Significand (M) The value presented is given by (-1)51.M 2E-1023 (a) Write down the bit pattern corresponding to the value 7.375 (b) Write down the value corresponding to the bit pattern C05D00000 (c) What is the largest positive number that can be represented, assuming there is no pattern with special meaning in the representation? (d) What is the smallest positive number other than 0 that can be represented, as- suming no pattern with special meaning?
