But how do these bits float?
Section I. Floating-point numbers across the Number Systems Number systems are just symbolic methods for representing quantities. When we want to represent some floating-point number in the base-10 system, we can easily do it: 3/2 is 1.5. However, representing the same number in base-2 won’t be anything magical, just converting the number into binary using…

Why all of these architectures?
Ever wondered why they even teach us these computer architectures? Back in the early days Any machine in the world has an architecture that demonstrates how its components work together to perform the output of the process intended. Back in the early days of June 30 till the early July 1945, the great mathematician John…
