in thread How to convert negative and positive floating points to binary and vice versa

Hello Anonymous Monk,

Thank you for your time and effort reading and replying to my question. At this point I assume that I made a mistake since it has been proven that even the smallest decimal number is up to 16 bits. Which is only used for extreme precision, not even for calculations reasons.

I assume that my assumptions that I could get a floating point with 8 bits for even higher precision is useless.

I think even 32 bits will do the work for my task.

Thank you for your time and effort to help me with my question.
