IEEE 754-2008 contains a half-precision that is only 16 bits wide. The leftmost bit is still the sign bit, the exponent is 5 bits wide and has a bias of 15, and the mantissa is 10 bits long. A hidden 1 is assumed. Write down the bit pattern to represent -6.653 assuming a version of this format, which uses an excess-16 format to store the exponent. Comment on how the range and accuracy of this 16-bit floating-point format compares to the single-precision IEEE 754 standard.

Write the command that can be used to answer the following questions. (hint: try each out on the system to check your results.) a. find all files on the system that have the word test" as part of their filename. b. search the path variable for the pathname to the awk command. c. find all files in the /usr directory and subdirectories that are larger than 50 kilobytes in size. d. find all files in the /usr directory and subdirectories that are less than 70 kilobytes in size. e. find all files in the / directory and subdirectories that are symbolic links. f. find all files in the /var directory and subdirectories that were accessed less than 60 minutes ago. g. find all files in the /var directory and subdirectories that were accessed less than six days ago. h. find all files in the /home directory and subdirectories that are empty. i. find all files in the /etc directory and subdirectories that are owned by the group bin."
