HI,
I learned from this link (
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15767758/correct-algorithm-to-convert-binary-floating-point-1101-11-into-decimal-13-75) that I could convert a binary (consists of both integer and fraction) to decimal values.
I am wondering if this code can be used to check for negative value? I did try with a binary string of 11111101.11 and it gives the output of 253.75...
I have two questions:
What are the modifications I need to do in order to read a negative value?
I know that I can do the bit shift (as below) to check if the msb is 1, if it is 1, I know it is negative value...
if (14bit_data & 0x2000) //if true, it is negative value The issue is, since it involves fraction part (but not only integer), it confused me a bit if the method still works...
If the binary number is originally not in string format, is there any way I could convert it to string? The binary number is originally fed from a fpga block say, 14 bits, with msb as the sign bit, the following 6 bits are the magnitude for integer and the last 6 bits are the magnitude for fractional part.
Any idea please? Thank you in advance
