Representing 1.0 in IEEE floating point

Viewed 5529

floating point numbers are described using an sign bit,an exponent and a mantisaa which is of the form 1.XXXXXXX. Since 1 is present by default,it is ignored. So how will 1.0*2^0 be represented in floating point standard? four bytes filled with zeroes? then how is zero represented?
