True / False The exponent in floating point is stored as a biased value.

horrorfan [7]4 years ago

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The bias value present in a floating point number deals with the positiveness and negativeness of the exponent part for a floating point number.  The bias value for a floating point number is 127. It means that 127 is always needed to be added to the exponent part of any floating point number.

In a single precision floating point number, we need 8 bits to store the exponent. Rather than storing it as a signed two's complement number, it is easier to simply add 127 to the exponent (because the lowest value that can be in 8 bit signed is -127) and simply store it as an unsigned number. If the stored value is bigger than the bias then it would mean the value of the exponent is positive otherwise it is negative, but if they are equal then it is 0.

Advocard [28]
Lacking a response to my question, I'll assume there's no "correct' answer here. 

Joaquin could contact the university's graphic arts department, or if he's interested in the programming side of it, the computer science department, and ask if they have any information on the topic. If he's already majoring to become an animator, then he should talk to one of his professors to see if they know someone in the business that would speak with Joaquin. 

The faster and better way would be to go to reddit, or some site at which animators congregate (most probably found through Google), read the forums, and create if he's not finding a suitable answer.
