Right, like iMalc mentioned, the while loops are for normalizing the mantissa of the result. The fraction part of an IEEE Floating point number should be 23 bits with an implied 1 bit, so the while...

It's okay, I actually managed to work it out. I don't know why, but when dividing values that resulted in a fraction part with a value other than 0, the exponent of the result would be off by one...
Ok, so you guys have been VERY helpful so far, especially itCbitC, and I definitely appreciate it. I am almost done with the program but have one small problem I can't seem to figure out with...
Okay, well that all makes sense and seems very logical. Now, however, I am still a bit puzzled. I emailed my TA the other day but haven't gotten a response yet, so I turn to here.
So I can...
Ok, so I'm still having a bit of trouble. I realize now that the decimal is not stored how I thought it was. But now I'm not sure how I can store the decimal for performing the operations and...
Oh... well that makes a lot more sense, I guess I was just being a little dumb about it :p
I'll be taking another go at the lab tonight, and if I run into any other major road blocks, hopefully...
Hello, for a CS lab I am supposed to take two floating point numbers some operation to perform on them as input, and then perform the operation between the two numbers at the bit level. This means...
Hmmm, okay. I guess I'll try implementation with another method of reading in from stdin... Didn't realize scanf() could be so flawed... Oh well, onward to rewriting :D
Ok, so over the summer I started making a simple tic-tac-toe program in my spare time to get some practice with pointers, structs, and programming in C in general. Overall, the program has been...
