Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2.93HW
following the bit-level floating-point coding rules, implement the function with the following prototype:
/* Compute |f|- If f is NaN, then return f. */
float_bits float_absval(float_bits f);
For floating-point number f, this function computes |f|. If f is NaN, your function should simply return f.
Test your function by evaluating it for all 232 values of argument f and comparing the result to what would be obtained using your machine’s floating-point operations.

Write a C-function with two arguments (n and r) that has prototype:
char clearbit(char k, char bits)
The function clears (sets to 0) the bit number k (in the range of 0 to 7) in bits and returns the resulting value. For example, if k is 0x02 and bits is 0x07, the function would return bits with its k’th bit cleared, resulting in 0x03. It must not change other bits in bits.
Hint: You may use any number of C-statements, but this task can be accomplished in as few as one!
// Task 3
// For this function, you must return the largest power of 2 that
// is less than or equal to x (which will be positive). You may
// not use multiplication or some sort of power function to do this,
// and should instead rely on bitwise operations and the underlying
// binary representation of x. If x is 0, then you should return 0.
unsigned largest_po2_le(unsigned x) {
return x;
}
Write a function that makes the base conversion. It takes two integers n and b as input (n >= 0 andb > 1, both in base 10) and expresses n in base b. For example, the decimal expansion of 345 inbase 10 is 345 = 3 × 102 + 4 × 101 + 5 × 100.Sample input: n = 12, b =2. Sample output: 1100Explanation: (12)10 = (1100)2
