Assume you have a 5 bit computer and this particular computer uses the IEEE double precision rules to represent floating point numbers using 1 bit for the sign, 2 bits for the exponent, and 2 bits for the fraction. For this computer, determine:
A) The smallest normalized positive number
B) The largest representable number
C) The smallest un-normalized positive number
D) The machine epsilon
E) The set of all positive numbers that your computer will be able to represent (including normalized and un-normalized.
Show your work with full explanations! Thank you!
It would really help if you could explain the thought process, etc. for this question. ;D
