Okay. I was going to use the already present multiply function only. But I just left it because, the multiply function is not being used in the file I'm trying to get decoded first. >> 3.

By internals, do you mean accessing the mant and exp part ? I'm just getting their values and printing them. I'm not altering them explicitly. I'll look into it a bit more now.
