Convert the following into single-precision IEEE floating point. Fill in the S, E, and F fields in binary (using the correct number of bits), and then convert the entire 32-bit binary string to hexadecimal (simply by grouping 4 bits at a time).

a) 130.0 S field: __________ (0 or 1) E field (binary): __________ (must have exactly 8 bits) F field (binary): __________ (must have exactly 23 bits) Complete Number (hex): 0x__________ (must have 8 hexits; do not write 0x in blank)

b) -126.0

S field: __________ (0 or 1) E field (binary): __________ (must have exactly 8 bits) F field (binary): __________ (must have exactly 23 bits) Complete Number (hex): 0x__________ (must have 8 hexits; do not write 0x in blank)

c) 0x33330000

Convert the following single-precision floating-point number given in hexadecimal to decimal. Determine the S, E, and F fields, then compute the decimal value using a calculator.

Tip: For the F field, remember that, except for special cases, the "1." is dropped from the significand; only the bits after the binary point are included.?

S field: __________ (0 or 1) E field (binary): __________ (must have exactly 8 bits) F field (binary): __________ (must have exactly 23 bits) Decimal (using calculator): __________*10^__________ [Note: Use normalized scientific notation with 2 decimal places, e.g., 1.23*10^-5]
