A technical standard for floating-point computation established in 1985 by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The standard addressed many problems found in the diverse floating-point implementations that made them difficult to use reliably and portably. Many hardware floating-point units now use the IEEE 754 standard. PHASE #1 Description: Develop a plan to design and finally implement a set of functions using C++ that would implement the IEEE standard. Phase 1 will include the literature write up, description of the IEEE 754 (single, double) and a complete description of the functions implemented including: 1. Functions type void, or any data returning function 2. Type of data passed in to the functions (function parameters or arguments) 3. Type of function parameters (value or reference). 4. Global variables if needed. 5. IEEE 754 single precision layout and its individual parts (sign, exponent, and mantissa) details. 6. IEEE 754 double precision layout and its individual parts (sign, exponent, and mantissa) details. 7. The hexadecimal layout of both precision. 8. Work out a full example from A to Z.
