hi sir,

for calculating the exponent i have a formula like this
here x= 3.3 %user can enter the value like this
ymax = 1023
N =int(log2(x/ymax)) = -8
there is a another way to get the N value also
like this Ymax/X = 1023/3.3 =310
max(2^-N) <310 ==> 256 % 2^-N value is always less then the result
so N=-8 = 11000

and finding the 11-bit mantissa
i am calculating like this
==> X*2^-N = 3.3*256 =844.8 =845 == 01101001101 =Y

finally i am adding this two binary like ==> 11000 01101001101
if i convert this binary value into hex it will give like 'C34D'


i tried with formula to finding the N value its giving the error like
??? Undefined function or method 'int' for input arguments of type 'double'.

how can i solve this problem..

thank you,
