A float occupies 4 bytes in memory. How many bits are used
to store exponent part?
since we can have up to 38 number for exponent so 2 ki power
6 6, 6 bits will be used. If 6 bits are used why do not we
have up to 64 numbers in exponent?

Answer / Shailesh Kumar Pandey
'The IEEE 754 standard defines the binary floating-point format used in most modern computers. The single-precision floating-point format, which is a 32-bit value and represents floats, uses 8 bits for the exponent (exponent part), not 6. This allows for a range of values from -126 to +127, not up to 64 as you mentioned.nThe reason why we don't have up to 64 numbers in the exponent is that exponents smaller than -126 or greater than +127 are considered subnormal or infinity/NaN values, which require special handling.'
