Description

This lecture covers the basics of computer arithmetic, focusing on floating point numbers. It explains the representation of floating point numbers, including the exponent and significand. The lecture also delves into the conversion of floating point numbers, normalization, and the handling of special cases like zero representation. Additionally, it discusses the dynamic range of floating point numbers and provides examples of floating point arithmetic operations. The lecture concludes with a detailed explanation of a MIPS function for comparing floating point numbers.
