title: Encoding Numbers into IEEE754 half precision
body: <p>I have a quick question about a problem I'm trying to solve. For this problem, I have to convert (0.0A)16 into IEEE754 half precision floating point standard. I converted it to binary (0000.0000 1010), normalized it (1.010 * 2^5), encoded the exponent (which came out to be 01010), but now I'm lost on how to put it into the actual form. What should I do with the fractional part? <strong>The answer comes out to be 0 01010 01 0000 0000.</strong> </p>
  
  <p>I know there's something to do with adding a omit 1, but I'm not entirely sure on where that happens either.</p>
  
  <p>Any help is appreciated! </p>
