When E=0 and M=0 then it indicates the number is Zero. When E=0 and M !=0, it's a denormalized no. When E=255 and M=0, it means infinity When E=255 and M !=0, it stands for Not a Number (NaN) So basically when all bits are 1 in E then you know it's a special value. 2 votes 2 votes charul commented Jan 13, 2018 reply Follow Share Thanks MiNiPanda,, this helps a lot. 1 votes 1 votes Please log in or register to add a comment.
