Ep 017: Fixed Point Notation Basics
Before we can talk about floating-point binary representation, we need to understand fixed-point notation. No worries, though. It's a short hop from unsigned binary integers to fixed-point notation.
Take aways: At the completion of this lesson, each student should be able to:
• identify powers of two correlating to bit positions to right of a binary point,
• convert from fixed-point binary to decimal, and
• convert from decimal with a fractional part to fixed-point binary.
