With floating point representation, we have a Sign, a Mantessa and an Exponent. A typical format is: SEEE EEEE EMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM where
As an example if we have S of 0, the exponent of 0000 0111, and Mantessa of 1100. We then get: Value is (2^7) * (0.5 * 1) + (0.25* 1) +(0.125 * 1) which is equal to 128 * 0.875 which is thus: 112.
