as someone not very familiar with ieee-754 I played with the linked interactive tool, and 0000000000000000 evaluates to 0.000030517578125 (2^-15), as biased exponent is -15 and mantissa is 0. So how do you represent 0 then?
- detaro 5y agothat's a special case not covered in that tool, all zeros in exponent and mantissa is defined to be 0. (it distinguishes between 0 and -0, so the sign bit still applies)
