If E=0 and M=0, then which of the following statement is true about X?(a) Not a number(b) Infinity(c) Defined(d) ZeroThis question was addressed to me in my homework.I want to ask this question from Representation of Numbers in chapter Discrete Time Systems Implementation of Digital Signal Processing

Answer»

Right OPTION is (d) Zero

The best explanation: According to the IEEE 754 standard, for a 32-bit machine, SINGLE precision floating point number is REPRESENTED as X=(-1)^s.2^E-127(M).

From the above equation we can interpret that,

If E=0 and M=0, then the value of X is 0.

What is the mantissa and exponent respectively obtained when we add 5 and 3/8 in binary float point representation?(a) 0.101010,011(b) 0.101000,011(c) 0.101011,011(d) 0.101011,101This question was posed to me during an interview.This question is from Representation of Numbers in chapter Discrete Time Systems Implementation of Digital Signal Processing

Answer»

Right option is (C) 0.101011,011

The BEST I can explain: We can represent the numbers in BINARY float POINT as

5=0.101000(2^011)

3/8=0.110000(2^101)=0.000011(2^011)

=>5+3/8=(0.101000+0.000011)(2^011)=(0.101011)(2^011)

THEREFORE mantissa=0.101011 and exponent=011.

For a twos complement representation, the truncation error is ____________(a) Always positive(b) Always negative(c) Zero(d) None of the mentionedI got this question in a job interview.My doubt is from Representation of Numbers in chapter Discrete Time Systems Implementation of Digital Signal Processing

Answer»

Right ANSWER is (B) Always negative

Best explanation: For a two’s complement representation, the truncation error is always negative and FALLS in the range

-(2^-b-2^-bm) ≤ ET0.

43.

If 0

Answer»

The correct option is (c) Mixed number

To explain I would say: According to the IEEE 754 STANDARD, for a 32-bit MACHINE, single precision floating point number is represented as X=(-1)^s.2^E-127(M).

From the above equation we can interpret that,

If 0X is a mixed number.

What is the smallest floating point number that can be represented using a 32-bit word?(a) 3*10^-38(b) 2*10^-38(c) 0.2*10^-38(d) 0.3*10^-38This question was addressed to me by my college professor while I was bunking the class.I want to ask this question from Representation of Numbers topic in section Discrete Time Systems Implementation of Digital Signal Processing

Answer»

Correct answer is (d) 0.3*10^-38

Best EXPLANATION: Let the mantissa be represented by 23 bits plus a sign bit and let the exponent be represented by 7 bits plus a sign bit.

Thus, the SMALLEST floating point number that can be represented using the 32 bit number is

(1/2)*2^-127=0.3*10^-38

Thus, the smallest floating point number that can be represented using the 32 bit number is

(1-2^-23)*2^127=1.7*10^38.

If the two numbers are to be multiplied, the mantissa are multiplied and the exponents are added.(a) True(b) FalseI got this question during a job interview.I'd like to ask this question from Representation of Numbers topic in chapter Discrete Time Systems Implementation of Digital Signal Processing

Answer» CORRECT OPTION is (a) True

To explain I would say: Let us CONSIDER two numbers X=M.2^E and Y=N.2^F

If we multiply both X and Y, we get X.Y=(M.N).2^E+F

Thus if we multiply two numbers, the MANTISSA are multiplied and the EXPONENTS are added.
