Which of the following statement is true about IEEE754 representation of +0 and -0?

Solution

EEE-754 Floating-Point Standard (+0 vs −0)

  • +0 and −0 are distinct bit patterns in IEEE-754.

  • They differ only in the sign bit:

    • +0 → sign bit = 0, exponent = all 0s, mantissa = all 0s.

    • −0 → sign bit = 1, exponent = all 0s, mantissa = all 0s.

  • The exponent and mantissa fields are identical (all zeros).

  • Mathematically, +0 and −0 compare equal, but they behave differently in some operations (e.g., 1/(+0) = +∞, 1/(−0) = −∞).
