Not sure where to ask this question so move as needed. I have to convert a hexadecimal representation of a IEEE 754 single binary floating point number to decimal representation, finding the 3 parts (sign, bias, and fraction). However he spent very very little time going over it, and no time explaining it. My searches have left me confused. Does anyone have a tutorial on this type of information that would explain better what is going on. ANY info would be appreciated. Thanks

OMG that is actually the kind of explanation I need MUCH appreciation, thanks!

Hi that's very simple process for convert decimal to binary and binary to decimal but you want haxadecimal to binary converson so do you follow some steps.

first any hexadecimal No. =like this is hexadecimal No. A25

A mean 10 - 2 - 5
1010 - 10 - 101
so A25 to binary No. 101010101

i hope you will do this.

Good luck!!!!!

WRONG!

Good luck if you pay any attention to nonsense like the above. kirlose_jones1 has overlooked the fact that each hexadecimal digit corresponds to 4 binary digits, so A = 1010, 2 = 0010, and 5 = 0101.
Put that all together and A25 = 101000100101.
