... In IEEE floating point representation, bits 2-12 represent the binary exponent, that is, the scale of the number. (The first bit is the sign bit, and the remaining bits for the mantissa.) The exponent represented is actually the binary number minus 1023. The exponents for the first 4 numbers are...

...hing which can lead to tightly coupled interfaces, using promises allows one to separate concerns for code that is synchronous or asynchronous.

... of expressions, or derived from the RT. A 100% declarative language (i.e. one in which every possible expression is RT) does not (among other RT requirements) allow the mutation of stored values, e.g. HTML and most of Haskell.
