Journals
My day sucked. Morning lessons were okay but during my 3rd lesson I was rocking with my chair and WHOOPSIE DAISY, i fell hitting my head to a wall. Didn't even hurt i was just like LOL. Maths was the usual, something about complex values(?) didn't understand a shit.
After that I had music lesson, nothing special.
When it finally ended and I was heading home I wanted to try my friends bike. Not knowing it had some crazy brakes I almost overstopped stoppie :( but that's not the point because after some stoppies I tried to ride it using only tailwheel... The bike was light as a feather and I OVERFLIPED with style, Now my ankle is fucked and I can't walk. Heil tuesday!

A computer has a 24-bit word length, which for the purpose of floating point operations, is divided into an 8-bit biased exponent and a 16-bit two's complement mantissa. Write down the range of numbers capable of being represented in this format and their precision.
I was just wondering, in regular binary floating points, you always have the invisible 1 bit infront of the 16bit/whatever value, but in two's complement =\
just speaking of positive mantissa values i'd say the invisible bit can remain where it is, but in case you might also be making use of negative values i'd just normalize the number and keep the sign bit ( dunno what it's in englisch actually ) visible.
Highest value is 1.115003232*10^43
Lowest value is -1.925929944*10^-34
i think ;>
but actually i've only been working with IEEE 754-1985 single and double precision formats so far. it might also be something like this:
1 - xxxxxxxx - xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
^------------^-------------------------^
sign------exponent-------------------normalized two's complement binary number without it's sign bit
that would sound plausible to me too.
€: you could google for Cyber 70 floating type format too. thats the only format i know which is making use of complements in its mantissa - but i have not been that much into this stuff lately, so i might be talking crap :D
make a journal plz about it and stuff!! asap!_!
i had a very fucking bad day but its over now... thanks! thats made my day!
