a number of 36 bits with the representation of a floating point has 8 bits plus the sign bit for the exponent and 26 bits plus a sign bit for "mantissa"(what is that??)
the mantissa is normalized(whats normalized mantissa??)
the exponent and the mantissa numbers are represented by a sign bit
and the absolute value.
what is the biggest and the smallest number we can represent in this way excluding zero??
i am new to this consept
where can i read about this stuff
