i am in need of solution

[mani05]

I Want to know about the internal representation of comp-2and the computation of mantissa and exponent..i need exact formula for compute value...i.e value
n=(manntissa*e^exponent)

 

[PHV]

AFAIK, COMP-2 representation is hardware dependant ...

Hope This Helps, PH.

PHV is correct. COMP-2 is normally double-precision floating-point. Implementation is hardware dependent. Many vendors implement floating-point following the IEEE standard. See

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_floating-point_standard.
