Abstract
A method and apparatus for adding floating point numbers. A ones-complement difference between first and second exponents respectively included in first and second floating point values is generated. Depending on whether a sign bit of the ones-complement difference is in a first state or a second state, either a first mantissa included in the first floating point value or a second mantissa included in the second floating point value is shifted. The first and second mantissas are added after one of the first mantissa and the second mantissa has been shifted.
