Q: The decimal number -0.329 x 2^15 is to be represented using a 16 bit floating point format without normalization as shown above. mantissa is pure fraction in sign magnitude form. Answer using rounding off is..
My Try: As it is 16 bit IEEE , so we should use [Exponent - 63 = 15] (coz, without normalization) which gives E = 78.
I dont know why they grouped 3-3 bits, so even if we group them by three.. So, 4th digit should br 1 and not 5.
(They have taken Expo - 64 = 15) why???
