Consider a 9-bit floating-point representation based on the IEEE floating-point format, with one sign bit, four exponent bits (k 4), and four fraction bits (n 34). The exponent bias is 4-1 7. In this exercise you need to multiply 2 floating point numbers. We outline the algorithm (for floating point multiplication at each step--- you need to carefully carry out each step that requires filling out the given blanks.

Please specify the bit pattern within double quotation marks and without a space. (E.g.: "011100010") Bit Pattern
