Question 1233 – Nielit STA [02-12-2018]

This standard offers a way to code a number using 32 bits, and defines three components:
1.The plus/minus sign is represented by one bit, the highest-weighted bit (furthest to the left or MSB)
2.The exponent is encoded using 8 bits immediately after the sign
3.The mantissa (the bits after the decimal point) with the remaining 23 bits
