Does anyone here know of a good web-page that explains floating point numbers, and how they are stored, well? I just realized that I have absolutely no idea how they work, when I had started thinking about how I would be able to compute the range of them. =) (Yes, I know there's stuff in header files, but that's not really the point) So, anyone know of any place that I could learn how they work? I browsed around, but I just got confused by the pages I've seen. (Or, if you could just explain them to me, that would be fine too =)
