| Question 7 |
The IEEE-754 double-precision format to represent floating point numbers, has a length of _____ bits.
| 16 | |
| 32 | |
| 48 | |
| 64 |
Question 7 Explanation:
→ The IEEE-754 double-precision format to represent floating point numbers has a length of 64 bits
→ In the IEEE 754-2008 standard, the 64-bit base-2 format is officially referred to as binary64 called double in IEEE 754-1985.
→ IEEE 754 specifies additional floating-point formats, including 32-bit base-2 single precision and, more recently, base-10 representations.
→ In the IEEE 754-2008 standard, the 64-bit base-2 format is officially referred to as binary64 called double in IEEE 754-1985.
→ IEEE 754 specifies additional floating-point formats, including 32-bit base-2 single precision and, more recently, base-10 representations.
