1.5.1.2. Double-Precision Format

The double-precision format contains the following binary patterns:
  • The MSB holds the sign bit.
  • The next 11 bits hold the exponent bits.
  • 52 LSBs hold the mantissa.

The total width of a floating-point number in the double-precision format is 64 bits. The bias for the double-precision format is 1023.
