To add two floating point numbers, you must adjust the exponents (by shifting the fraction) to make them the same. Then you can add the fractions and normalize the result, if needed.
Add the single-precision IEEE-754 numbers
0011 1110 1110 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 and
0011 1101 1000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
It is OKAY to take the following procedure to get the result:
- to convert each of he given two IEEE-754 numbers to a scientific notation in binary. (e.g., -1.0112 x 223)
- Add the two numbers in scientific notation
- Convert the result to IEEE-754 format.
