Assume we are using the simple model for floating-point representation as given in the text (the representation uses a 14-bit format, 5 bits for the exponent with a bias of 15, a normalized mantissa of 8 bits, and a single sign bit for the number):

a) show how the computer would represent the numbers 100.0 and 0.25 using this floating-point format.
b) Show how the computer would add the two floating-point numbers in part a by changing one of the numbers so they are both expressed using the same power of 2.
c) show how the computer would represent the sum in part b using the given floating-point representation. What decimal value for the sum is the computer actually storing? explain.

7.23 main lab 7 - online shopping cart background this main lab extends the earlier prep lab "online shopping cart part 1". (you should save this as a separate project from the earlier prep lab). you will create an on-line shopping cart like you might use for your on-line purchases. the goal is to become comfortable with setting up classes and using objects. requirements this lab can be done individually or as pair programming. expanded itemtopurchase class (15 points) extend the itemtopurchase class as follows. we will not do unit testing in this lab so we will not be giving you the names of the member functions. create good ones on your own. create a parameterized constructor to assign item name, item description, item price, and item quantity (default values of "none" for name and description, and 0 for price and quantity). additional public member functions set an item description get an item description print the cost of an item - outputs the item name followed by the quantity, price, and subtotal (see example) print the description of an item - outputs the item name and description (see example) additional private data members a string for the description of the item. example output of the function which prints the cost of an item: bottled water 10 @ $1.50 = $15.00 example output of the function which prints the item description:
