The resulting bit-array is shown in Figure 3.2(a). Now we can add the array
of-ls. Since we placed the integer point after the sign bits, the value of this
array of-ls is-m, which is represented by
yyy.., y
in Figure 3.2(a). This
bit-vector can be combined with the last row so that the total number of rows in
the array remains m. An example is shown for m = 5 in Figure 3.2(b).
