IEEE-754 Binary-32 Floating-Point Converter

Description

The IEEE-754 Binary-32 Floating-Point Converter is a web-based application designed to facilitate the conversion of floating-point numbers between binary and decimal representations according to the IEEE-754 standard. This tool supports conversion of regular numbers as well as special values like NaN (Not a Number), Infinity, and Zero.

How to Use the Converter

1. Input Number: Enter the number you wish to convert. You can input special values like NaN, Infinity, and Zero using specific keywords (e.g., sNaN, qNaN, Infinity, -Infinity, -0).

2. Select Base: Choose the base of the input number from the dropdown menu (Binary for base-2 or Decimal for base-10).

3. Enter Exponent: Provide the exponent value for the number.

4. Convert: Click the “Convert” button to perform the conversion. The output will display the binary and hexadecimal representations of the input number.

5. Clear: Use the “Clear” button to reset all input fields and clear the output.

6. Download Output: Click the “Download Output” button to save the conversion results to a text file.

Features

• Input Validation: Ensures that the inputs are correctly formatted and within acceptable ranges.
• Special Values Handling: Supports special IEEE-754 values like sNaN, qNaN, Infinity, and Zero.
• Output Formats: Provides both binary and hexadecimal outputs, formatted for readability.
• Downloadable Results: Users can download the conversion results as a text file.

Special Values Instructions

• Signaling NaN: Enter sNaN
• Quiet NaN: Enter qNaN
• Positive Infinity: Enter Infinity
• Negative Infinity: Enter -Infinity
• Negative Zero: Enter -0
• Positive Zero: Enter 0

Example Outputs

• Binary Output: Displayed with spaces between the sign bit, exponent, and mantissa for clarity.
• Hexadecimal Output: Direct conversion of the binary representation.
