Setting all exponent bits to 1 will result in a spcl notation which is reserved in IEEE 754 format. supreetshukla answered Feb 16 supreetshukla comment Share Follow See 1 comment See all 1 1 comment reply Thousif commented May 14 reply Follow Share Is there a reserved representation in double precision floating point also or not. 0 votes 0 votes Please log in or register to add a comment.
