Decimal to Floating Point Conversion

A video for my classes, converting a Decimal number into Single Floating Point Notation.

Finally, a worthy competitor to the indian youtube tech tutorial channels

This is, by far the most simplistic and straight forward decimal to floating point conversion video I've seen yet. Thanks!

[mindyourbusiness]

I watched a lot of videos to figure out how to convert decimal to floating point. This is the best video. I think I can solve any question of that kind. Thank you so much Nicholas.

Sorry, I don't think you explained where did the *127* come from and why do we have to add it to the exponent(4). At 4:31 time stamp

[SigmaHayate]

This is much easier to understand than my instructor's explanation. Can't believe a video of 7 years ago does better than a today instructor

You did a way better job explaining this than a certain online credit earning learning website did. Their CS 306 computer architecture lesson just was like blah blah, I'm saying stuff but not actually saying where anything comes from.

I spent 2 hours confused in my book, then had it click immediately in your 6 minute video. Cheers!

[ignisninja]

Clear and straight to the point. Thank you so much

[dripsquad]

thank you Nicholas a lot this was awesome explanation and video

[dimpln]

this is so simple, amazing explanation thank you

[رزيئة]

Thank you, now I can solve my homework in detail as asked ❤️

What if I have a number in decimal base that can't be represented in binary base by floating point binary? Does this method still reach to a binary floating point number or do you end up having a problem like an endless loop of calculation?

[kjelltitulaer]

I know computers sometimes hide the first mantissa bit, with this calculation, is it hidden by default or do you still have to hide it afterwards?

[davidcopher]

Thank you so much, keep up the good work. Helped me out a lot.

[friday]

so we multiply to convert the other way?

[s.u.]

Is there a reverse video tutorial where you go from the long binary back into 23.75 ?

[abdullahmohammad]

What if the number was like 2E-40! What shall we do then?

[laibaarraikeasyconcept]

Sir, i did not get exponent work....kindly derive

[lmnop]

what would be the "127" value for double

[Florrrra]

Anyone tell me why is 23.75(10) in the end? Thanks
