Tip:A–D to answerE for explanationV for videoS to reveal answer
The range of the exponent E in the IEEE754 double precision (Binary 64) format is __
- A.
-1023 < E < 1022
- B.
-1022 < E < 1022
- C.
-1022 < E < 1023
(Correct Answer) - D.
-1023 < E < 1023
Correct Answer: -1022 < E < 1023
Explanation
Solution
The correct answer is (C) −1022≤E≤1023.
Calculation:
The actual exponent e is derived from the 11-bit stored exponent (Estored) using a bias of 1023:
For normalized numbers, Estored ranges from 1 to 2046 (as 0 and 2047 are reserved):
Range:
