Single-precision floating-point format

Single-precision floating-point format is a computer number format, usually occupying 32 bits in computer memory; it represents a wide dynamic range of numeric values by using a floating radix point. A floating point variable can represent a wider range of numbers than a fixed point variable of the same bit width at the cost of precision. A signed 32-bit integer variable has a maximum value of 231 − 1 = 2,147,483,647, whereas an IEEE 754 32-bit base-2 floating-point variable has a maximum value...

How Many Floating Point Numbers are There?

The IEEE standard for floating point arithmetic provides for a noncontinuous space representing both very large and very small numbers. Under the standard, each floating point number are composed of three parts: the base, exponent, and mantissa. It...
