What is radix in floating point representation?
In all number bases, the radix simply represents the point that separates the integer component from the fractional component in a real number. In decimal notation, the radix is more commonly called a decimal point.
How do you represent floating point number in microprocessor?
It is somewhat complicated (search for the IEEE floating-point representation for more details), but the basic idea is that you have a few bits for the base, and a few bits for the exponent. The numbers are stored in binary, not in decimal, so the base and the exponent are the numbers "a" and "b" in a x 2b.
What is the floating-point notation for 25.611?
It is 2.5611*101
What is the representation of a fixed location in a space?
A stationary point.
How are floating point numbers handled as binary numbers?
Floating point numbers are typically stored as numbers in scientific notation, but in base 2. A certain number of bits represent the mantissa, other bits represent the exponent. - This is a highly simplified explanation; there are several complications in the IEEE floating point format (or other similar formats).Floating point numbers are typically stored as numbers in scientific notation, but in base 2.
