The Hewlett-Packard 2114, 2115, and 2116 used a format with the left most 16 bits being the fraction stored in two’s complement format, followed by another 16-bit fi eld which had the left most 8 bits as an extension of the fraction (making the fraction 24 bits long), and the rightmost 8 bits representing the exponent. However, in an interesting twist, the exponent was stored in signmagnitude format with the sign bit on the far right! Write down the bit pattern to represent -1.5625 × 10^-1 assuming this format. No hidden 1 is used. Comment on how the range and accuracy of this 32-bit pattern compares to the single precision IEEE 754 standard.
