Floating point numbers in a computer are represented using a 10-bit mantissa (including a sign bit) a 7-bit exponent (including a sign bit). What is the approximate value of the maximum number, which can be represented? Assume that the mantissa is stored in the normalized form, that is, without leading zeroes.
🎥 Video solution / Text Solution of this question is given below:
7-bit exponent including sign → maximum exponent = $2^{6}-1 = 63$
