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

Computers and Technology
1 answer:
horrorfan [7]3 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.

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Research what kind of computer you want.

Explanation:

I don't know exactly what you are asking here but when doing research you have got to know what you want like how much ram you want, how much storage you want, what brand of computer you want, what core processor you want, and what graphics card you want. You also have to decide if you want a laptop or a full sized desk top computer.
