Line 15:

A BID number has three fields, the sign the exponent and the magnitude.

If

The number has value v:

v = s × 10^e × m

Where

s = +1 (positive numbers) when the sign bit is 0

Line 28 ⟶ 24:

m = an integer (in binary format).

The number has value v:

v = s × 10^e × m

If the top bits of the exponent are greater than 1110, the encoding is not for a value. If the top five bits of the exponent field have the encoding 11110 binary, the number represented is + or - infinity, the sign bit determines which. Nan is represented by the tops five bits of the exponent field being set to 11111.
