Adding the explanation of how the floating-point numbers like -27.156 are stored in binary format in a computer's memory.
Adding an example of how to convert an array of bits to the floating-point number (the example is a bit artificial but still it gives the overview of how the conversion is going on)
Adding an example of how to see the actual binary representation of the floating-point number in JavaScript
