Assume the following representation for a floating point number 1 sign bit, 4 bits exponent, 3 bits for the significand, and a b

ias of 7 for the exponent (there is no implied 1 as in IEEE).
a) What is the largest number (in binary) that can be stored? Estimate it in decimal.
b) What is the smallest positive number( closest to 0) that can be stored in binary? Estimate it in decimal.
c) Describe the steps for adding two floating point numbers.

Answer:

Detailed answers given in the solution

Explanation:

a)

max exponent= 1111=15

in biased form =15-7=8

max significant=1111=(.9375)10

max value= 1.9375*28

b) min exp= 0000=0-7=-7(biased)

min value=1.0000*2(-7)

c) Addition : Suppose we want to add two floating point numbers, X and Y.

steps to add floating point numbers:

Make exponents of the two numbers to be the same (if not). We do this by rewriting .

Add the two mantissas of X and the Y together.

If the sum in the previous step does not have a single bit of value 1, left of the radix point, then adjust the radix point and exponent until it does.

Convert back to the one byte floating point representation.

d) Multiplication :

Suppose you want to multiply two floating point numbers, X and Y.

steps to multiply floating point numbers.

sum of the two exponents..

Multiply the mantissa of X to the mantissa of Y. Call this result m.

If m is does not have a single 1 left of the radix point, then adjust the radix point so it does, and adjust the exponent z to compensate.

Add the sign bits, mod 2, to get the sign of the resulting multiplication.

Convert back to the one byte floating point representation, truncating bits if needed.

How do films use camera shots?
lorasvet [3.4K]
These advanced camera shots, or angles, are used in film to convey an effect or emotion rather than exemplify a sense of space. Before filming, cinematographers will write out their shot list in order to plan how each scene of their film should be shot

Martha has a large data list and wants to sort it quickly and efficiently. Which algorithm should Martha use
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

quicksort

Explanation:

There are many types of asymptotically efficient sorting algorithms that can be used but one of the more commonly used for large data lists would be quicksort. This is a sorting algorithm that focuses on choosing a value from the list and working around that value in order to sort the data piece by piece. For larger data sets this method is widely used due to its speed and efficiency which is exactly what Martha needs in this scenario.
