Okay i understood up until the x = Float32(num) and xbits = x.bits. So i
decided to print out the values of decode_fp32 function first, to check if its
working.... aaaaand its not.

x = Float32(1234.123456789)
xbits = x.bits


print(decode_fp32(x))

which gives:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/aleksandar/projects/ieee754fpu/src/add/fsqrt.py", line 108, in
<module>
    print(decode_fp32(x))

    return get_sign(x), get_exponent(x), get_mantissa(x)

    return ((x & 0x80000000) >> 31)
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for &: 'sfpy.float.Float32' and 'int'
