Description
Use a programming language of your choice (i.e java) to write an application to convert decimal number to IEEE-754 Single Precision Floating-Point Representation (32-bit) and IEEE-754 Double Precision Floating-Point Representation (64-bit) and convert back to decimal. Use GUI as user interface asking the user for decimal number and the program will output the result. Specification The IEEE-754 single precision floating point standard uses an 8-bit exponent (with a bias of 127) and a 23-bit significand. The IEEE-754 double precision standard uses an 11-bit exponent (with a bias of 1023) and a 52-bit significand.
Requirements Make your application runnable. I've been using Java but I have a hard time with GUI (t makes no sense to me) and how to convert the floating points back to decimals. Below is what I have so far. import java.util.Scanner; public class conversionClass { public static void main(String[]args) { Scanner scanInput = new Scanner(System.in); double decimalNum; int valueBit; String stringOfBits; System.out.println("Please enter the decimal that needs to convert in single precision floating point"); decimalNum = scanInput.nextInt(); float f = (float)decimalNum; valueBit = Float.floatToIntBits(f); stringOfBits = Integer.toBinaryString(valueBit); System.out.println("Single precision floating point:" + stringOfBits); System.out.println("Please enter the decimal that needs to convert in double precision floating point"); decimalNum = scanInput.nextInt(); stringOfBits = Long.toString(Double.doubleToLongBits(decimalNum), 2); System.out.println("double precision floating point:" + stringOfBits); } }
