Yeah, i was just playing in a clan war on an old first person shooter. I got tied up in it for no apparent reason (im not a part of the clan), but they told me i was good and that i should assist them in a grudge match against a rival clan of theirs. So im like well-wasted 3-hours of my life. I had the posistion of backup engineer, and i was the one who was supposed to repair the objectives without actually killing anyone. BORING… but whatever. The clan lost the grudge match because one of our engies <b>ciribotted</b> up…

^^yeah thats the title-relevant part of my blog.^^

back to real life… GAH SCHOOL STARTS IN A WEEK. I cant wait really, its been such a boring summer and i want to get into calculus and computer science.

Another thing… Can anybody here give me some tips on floating-point variable types? I mean i know how to use them and what they do… but im more interested in the 32 and 64 bit types and the actual structure of it.

I know this much: (s= sign bit, e = exponent bit, m = mantissa bit)

s - eeeeeeee - mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm <- bit structre 32

s * pwr(2, e) * m <- assembling the number

and i dont know how to break the number down into it's exponent and mantissa. if anyone could give me some advice or links, that would be great. The IEEE specification didnt help much… it allready assumed that i knew the forumlas.
