Representation of the exponent in IEEE-754 Single Precision as a sum?
In the professor's slide showing IEEE-754 Single Precision floating point numbers, the following sum can be found for calculation: wherecorresponds to the respective bit of the exponent in binary representation from j=0 to j=7. It also states that the sum results in the following range of values ​​for the exponent: This raises the following questions…
