This one is particularily accuarte and detailed. I can see that a number like â118.625 with as many as 6 significant digits can be represented in single precision by +-+--------+-----------------------+ |S| Exp | Fraction | |1|10000101|11011010100000000000000| +-+--------+-----------------------+ in which less than half the bits are actually used for the fraction. So how come it does not work for a small number like 24.82? -- _______________________________________ REUSE CODE!
