The fraction field is equal to .0 (binary). After adding the implicit
normalized bit, the fraction is equal to 1.0 (binary). The fraction value is
equal to 2^0 (decimal), which is equal to 1 (decimal).
The value of the number is positive 1*1 = 1.0 (decimal).
The sign of the value is positive because the sign bit field is equal to 0.
The exponent field is equal to 3FE (hexadecimal). The exponent is
calculated by subtracting the bias value (3FF) from the exponent field value.
The result is -1 (decimal).
3FE - 3FF = -1
The fraction field is equal to .1 (binary). After adding the implicit
normalized bit, the fraction is equal to 1.1 (binary). The fraction value is
equal to 2^0 + 2^-1 (decimal), which is equal to 1 + 0.5 (decimal), which is
equal to 1.5 (decimal).
The value of the number is positive 0.5*1.5 = 0.75 (decimal).
