I want to add two IEEE 754 numbers. I followed the steps to add two 754 numbers. However the result it not correct. Number 1: S:0 E:01111111 M:11111111111111111111111
Number 2: S:0 E:01111111 M:00000000000000000000000
Here is my calculation:
The site http://weitz.de/ieee/ gives this result: S: 0 E: 10000000 M: 10000000000000000000000
in my calculation the mantissa is 01111… Why?
