Solution

The text is written in Python language. Here is the function that converts a floating-point number to a fixed-point number in Q(3.5) format:

def float_to_fixed(floating_point):
    # Step 1: Multiply the float by 2^5
    multiplied = floating_point * (2**5)
    
    # Step 2: Round the result to the nearest integer
    rounded = round(multiplied)
    
    # Step 3: Convert this integer to binary representation
    binary = bin(rounded)[2:]  # remove '0b' from the start
    
    # Step 4: If this string has less than 8 bits, then pad the left with zeros
    while len(binary) < 8:
        binary = '0' + binary
    
    # Step 5: Add the sign bit ('0' or '1') to the binary number on the left
    if floating_point < 0:
        binary = '1' + binary
    else:
        binary = '0' + binary
    
    return binary

This function takes a floating-point number as input, converts it to a fixed-point number in Q(3.5) format, and returns a string containing the 9-bit binary representation of the fixed-point number.
