Understanding Floating Point Formats

Under ordinary circumstances, you don’t have to know or care how numbers are represented within your programs. However, when you are transferring data files that contain numbers, you will have to convert if the storage formats are not identical. If the numbers are just integers, that’s fairly easy because the only differences will be the length and the byte order: how many bytes the number takes up, and whether it is stored lsb or msb (least signifacant byte or most significant byte first). Once you know that, conversion is trivial.

Conventional Formats Work

Books have a lot in common, regardless of the writer, content, or publisher. The covers are of sturdier weight than the inner pages. There’s a title page. Some credits on the reverse side, or on the next page. Maybe a dedication by the author. If appropriate, there’s a table of contents next. If there’s an introduction, it follows. And if there’s an index, it’s at the back of the book.

You can record the interview over the phone, in person or by using a third-party conference service. Once again, you can offer your information via recorded interview for a premium over what you would charge in eBook format.
