Although it is not commonly used, MATLAB allows numbers to be expressed in single precision. Each value is stored in 4 bytes with 1 bit for the sign, 23 bits for the mantissa, and 8 bits for the signed exponent. Determine the smallest and largest positive floating-point numbers as well as the machine epsilon for single precision representation. Note that the exponents range from -126 to 127.
