Ep 017: Fixed Point Notation Basics

Before we can talk about floating-point binary representation, we need to understand fixed-point notation. No worries, though. It's a short hop from unsigned binary integers to fixed-point notation. Take aways: At the completion of this lesson, each student should be able to: • identify powers of two correlating to bit positions to right of a binary point, • convert from fixed-point binary to decimal, and • convert from decimal with a fractional part to fixed-point binary. #fixedpoint #binary #fraction
