Float value
Hi all,
I am working for a project which has 8051 micro, I will not be able have float lib in the project due to the size but have to do float calc.
so I plan to write my own function for the same
like for
finding 25/6 = 4 1/6
now I need to represent the floating point in 11bits
any ideas how to do it.

Use 'Fixed Point'. Decide how much precision you need and that tells you where the decimal point will be.
OK Require to represent in 13.11 format and plan to use fixed ponit only. but how do I do it now.
If you always want two point percision, store 13.11 as 1311. With 11 bits you can store a number up to 2048 unsigned (which would mean a number up to 20.48). That's about as good as you can get without more bits.
