我是一名学生,我在解决有关浮点数的问题时遇到了这个问题。
a 16 bit floating point number format is given as;
1 bit for sign
9 bits for mantissa
6 bits for exponent.
mantissa is normalized fraction denoted in sign magnitude form and exponent is in 2's complement form.
base of the system is 2 and and biasing is (2^e-1) - 1. What is the range of positive mantissa?
答案是
0.5 to 1 - 2^-9
尾数的最大值将为 .111111111 即。1 - 2^-9。但我没有得到尾数的最小值。假设 .100000000 是最小正尾数。
我的问题是为什么它不是 .000000001?
