If you have a gap in your understanding of floating-point (and fixed-point) formats, hopefully this will be the series that finally clicks for you. :)

I’d definitely appreciate any feedback from anyone that takes the time to read it all. I tried to take a different approach to teaching how they work that I’m hoping is more approachable for some folks.
