    Hi All,

    I used the following 

    https://www.h-schmidt.net/FloatConverter/IEEE754.html 

    Convertor to check for the floating point value (0.00238044)

    the equivalent binary = 0 01110110 00111000000000100101000

    but If I remove first bit for sign (0) and the next eight bits for exponent:(01110110)

    the mantissa = 00111000000000100101000;

    I use the formula = 1*(2**-3)+  1*(2**-4)+ 1*(2**-5)+... I get 0.2187

    What mistake am i making in the conversion.

    Hi,

    The Visual C# forum discuss and ask questions about the C# programming language, IDE, libraries, samples, and tools. If you have any question about the convertor you provided, please contact the convertor provider for help.

    Thanks for your understanding.

    Regards,

    Stanly
