What is the decimal equivalent of the 32?bit IEEE floating?point value CC4C0000?
What will be an ideal response?
The binary equivalent of CC4C0000 is 11001100010011000000000000000000
This can be split into sign, biased exponent, and fractional mantissa. That is
S = 1, E = 10011000, F = 10011000000000000000000
The sign is negative, and the exponent is 
(remember the stored exponent is biased by 127, which has to be subtracted)
The mantissa, after the insertion of the leading 1, is 1.10011000000000000000000
Combining mantissa and exponent we get
