Floating Point

This web page is aimed at demonstrating the representation and processing of floating point numbers,

Each float is represented by S * 2^E * M. S is the sign, E a biased integer and M the mantissa. Except for 0, 1 <= M < 2, and the associated 1 is implied but not stored.

You can enter floats and their binary representation is shown. You can also specify operations to be performed.

So enter numbers, select an operation, and use the Next button to move to the next stage.
