floating point conversion

[skandalOS]

hello,

I've got a question about floating numbers, I didn't find the formula how generate a floating number.

There is for example the fomula: sign*2^exp*mantisse but you can use this formula if you already have the
binary representation.

for example: 01000001101111001100110011001101 would representate 23.6 (from IEEE Converter)

but how do you calculate the binary representation please?

thnx b4
