floating point documentation?

[coercedman66]

I've been working on a C++ library allows programmers to define variables in the range of 1byte to 4,294,967,295 bytes. Now that i have signed and unsigned math working I am working on floating point values.

So my problem is information, can someone please refer me to some information that can help me learn about floating point representation in binary? I've been searching on the net but can't find the information I need.

My project can be seen here if someone is interested in seeing the library: http://sourceforge.net/projects/heapvariable/?source=directory
