IEEE-754 Python

Question

How can I convert a number with a decimal part to the simple precision system of the IEEE-754 in python in such a way that I enter the number and I throw the standard sign, exponent and mantissa? Example Input: 10.27 Example Output: 0 10000011 01001000101000111101011 Sign-Exponent-Mantissa

Here is my attempt to solve the problem.

# Conversion de Decimal a Binario con parte fraccionaria
        def float_bin(num, dig=23):
            # split() separa la parte entera de la parte decimal
            # Despues de separarlas las asignas a dos variables distintas
            ent, dec = str(num).split(".")

            # Convert both whole number and decimal
            # Cambia el tipo de dato de un string a un entero
            ent = int(ent)
            dec = int(dec)
            # Convierte la parte entera a su respectivo forma binaria el "Ob" es removido con el metodo strip
            res = bin(ent).lstrip("0b") + "."
            # Itera el numero de veces dependiendo de numero de posiciones decimales que se buscan
            for x in range(dig):
                # Multiplica la parte fraccionaria por 2 y se separa la parte entera de la parte decimal para repetir el proceso
                ent, dec = str((decimal_conv(dec)) * 2).split(".")

                # Se convierte la parte fraccionaria a un entero de nuevo
                dec = int(dec)

                # Keep adding the integer parts
                # receive to the result variable
                res += ent

Answer 1

From your description ucyos answer is what you are looking for:

def float_to_bin(num):
    bits, = struct.unpack('!I', struct.pack('!f', num))
    return "{:032b}".format(bits)

print(float_to_bin(10.27))
# 01000001001001000101000111101100

Answer 2

Here is an example for ieee745 32b-format:

def ieee745(N): # ieee-745 bits (max 32 bit)
    a = int(N[0])        # sign,     1 bit
    b = int(N[1:9],2)    # exponent, 8 bits
    c = int("1"+N[9:], 2)# fraction, len(N)-9 bits

    return (-1)**a * c /( 1<<( len(N)-9 - (b-127) ))

N = "110000011010010011"  # str of ieee-745 bits
print( ieee745(N)  )  # -->  -20.59375
