Figure 5–20. Flowchart for Floating-Point to Integer Conversion by FIX Instruction
Test for special cases of α(
exp
)
α(
exp
) > 30
α(
exp
) in range
rs = 31 – α(
exp
)
Overflow Shift
If α(
man
) > 0,
c
= most positive integer
If α(
man
) < 0,
c
= most negative integer
c
= α(
man
) > > rs
Set
c
to final result
α
c
= fix(α)
