S=0 M =0 and E =1 so it will become 1.0 * 2 ^ -126 Now if number is smaller than this, it will be of form 0.M * 2 ^ -126 Hence when E=0 to make it -126 than +1 is added. i.e E- bias +1 = 0-127+1= -126. 2 votes 2 votes Raj Singh 1 commented Jan 7, 2019 reply Follow Share super thanks 0 votes 0 votes Please log in or register to add a comment.
