How would one represent the number -4 as an 8-bit normalised, 2's complement, floating point, with 4 bits dedicated to the exponent?As a normal 4-bit 2's complement number, it would be represented as 1100.How would this be normalised, with the start of the mantissa being 1.0?Would it be 1.000 0010, with the extra 1 on the left (after evaluation to a normal 2's compliment number) being filled in?If so, how would you know to fill it with a 1, because it starts with a 1?
