In the single precision format of the “IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic” (IEEE 754), a 32-bit floating point number is represented as below:
If 0 < E < 255, then the value of the number is (−1)S × 2 (E−127) × (1+F)
where F represents the fractional part of the number, stored as a 23-bit binary sequence. This F is the sum of its weighted binary components: F=b1×2−1+b2×2−2+⋯+b23×2−23 , where b1, b2, …, b23 are the binary digits of F.
