  • The only question I have concerns the round-off. We're basically left with with just 13 in the binary notation, but 13.9 is closer to 14, so 1110 is a better approximation than 1101. Is there a way to properly round-off binary numbers, other than truncation?

  • @alcyonae You may use an extra bit of mantissa to make that decision. I am however not as much familiar with that level of detail.
