- I am trying to convert a 32 bit floating point number (what Turbo Pascal calls
- SINGLE type) to an ASCIIZ string in 8086 assembler. I have the format of the
- number: 1 bit sign, 8 bit exponent, 23 bit mantissa, but have not been able to
- convert a sample number to its real value - not even manually.
- Would someone be so kind as to give me some pointers on decoding 32-bit floating
- point numbers, in assembler? Information on determining the value, or even
- source code, would be greatly appreciated.
-
- Thanks.
