Sorry I'm reposting the message because I forgot the topic tag in the first email Hi, I'm converting some numbers to Microship's 32 & 24bits floating point format (Microship application notes AN575 IEEE 754 compliant floating point routines) but I have problems converting the zero number, I know it should be a denormalized number but I'm not able to find the correct answer. converting 1 to 24bits I get : e = 0 eb = 7F f = 0000 1 = 7F0000 and converting 0 e = 0 eb = 7f f = 0000 0 = 7f0000 what's the correct answer ? can you explain ? thanks in advance -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.
