Edit Question
Title
Body
I know a little bit about how floating-point numbers are represented, but not enough, I'm afraid. The general question is: For a given precision (for my purposes, the number of accurate decimal places in base 10), what range of numbers can be represented for 16-, 32-, and 64-bit IEEE-754 systems? Specifically, I'm only interested in the range of 16-bit and 32-bit numbers accurate to +/-0.5 (the ones place) or +/- 0.0005 (the thousandths place).
