Question

what do you understand by single precision data?Give one example.​

Answer 1

Answer:-

• In single-precision, 32-bit format, one bit is used to tell whether the number is positive or negative. Eight bits are reserved for the exponent, which (because it's binary) is 2 raised to some power. The remaining 23 bits are used to represent the digits that make up the number, called the significand.
• Single-precision examples

This includes the sign, (biased) exponent, and significand. By default, 1/3 rounds up, instead of down like double precision, because of the even number of bits in the significand. The bits of 1/3 beyond the rounding point are 1010... which is more than 1/2 of a unit in the last place.
