Perform addition and subtraction operation on the following two floating point operands.
A = 0 10001 011011
B = 1 01111 101010
A and B are represented in a 12-bit format. The scale factor has an implied base of 2 and a 5-bit excess-15 exponent. The 6-bit mantissa is normalized as in the IEEE format, with an implied 1 to the left of the binary point.
