Floating-point numbers, representation, and manipulation
Format of binary floating-point real numbers:
Use two’s complement form
Understanding of the effects of changing the allocation of bits to mantissa and exponent in a floating-point representation
Convert binary floating-point real numbers into denary and vice versa:
Normalise floating-point numbers:
Understand the reasons for normalisation
Show understanding of the consequences of a binary representation only approximating the real number it represents (in certain cases):
Understand how underflow and overflow can occur
Show understanding that binary representations can give rise to rounding errors:
