Fantastic

Wow, this tutorial was awesome!

Now I only need to figure out what are normalized and denormalized values.

thankx as i got my confusion cleared :)

How does 2 to the power of 3 (6:22) become 3 (6:53)?

[numericalmethodsguy]

@axydlbaaxr The 3 at 6:53 is still the value of the unbiased exponent.

thank you soo much :) I could neer understood my lecturer

[simthadim]

Thanks a million for posting this on the web!

Real clear explanation, just what i needed.

[Mubasher77]

what about the +ve smallest and largest numbers and for the largest +ve and -ve numbers? its very threatening..f

our teacher is a reaaaaaal asshole, he wanted us to convert from decimals to flaoting points.. in the first lecture of thecourse and we still learning in the begineing. wtf is flaoting point anyway.. I cannt get it

[numericalmethodsguy]

Please do not use bad language. Floating point is called floating because the radix point (decimal point for base-10) is floating. For example 234.56 is written as 2.3456E2, see the decimal point floated to a different place.

You need to start learning this from the beginning. See the playlist "Floating Point Representation" on my channel.

thank youuuuu!!! i really needed it!

[KingGoddard]

Thanks for the videos!

[bofelfel]

thank u for posing all these videos sir,it was realy helpfull...

Your instructor may be showing the representation where there is a bit for the sign of the exponent.

Go to the playlist on Floating Point Representation on the numericalmethods guy channel and you will see a video on that under "Floating Point Representation: Example"

This video was really helpful thank you!

1 question tho, my lecturer takes the exponent as if and doesnt add the value 7 (which u said is the integer part of half the max value). Is there a different notation maybe for why he is doing this?

[numericalmethodsguy]

No I do not teach probability.

[amightyo]

Çok teşekkürler as we say it in Turkish meaning many thanks:)

Did you teach Probability? I sure want to listen to your lectures (clear and simple)

[amightyo]

I now know floating point representation. The IEE standard 754 was taught in class last week for single and double precision. It all looked like magic then (wondering why those values were used) Now with your simple explanation, I now have a full understanding. Many thanks. I was looking out for any lecture from you on Input/Output Organization.

Thanks once more:)

[numericalmethodsguy]

Thank you for your comments. They are very encouraging. I want students of all capabilities to have free and easy access to higher education (in some small way). I will be soon taping a segment where I will discuss the real-life 32-bit representation.
