Can someone explain to me how floating point addition is implemented on a x86 in hardware or software. I would like to find out what method is used to add varying number size. if I have a 1 X 10^-100 + 2 X 10^50. are the exponents average for a common ground or does the large one rule etc. or is it something else?
