@stdlib/number-float32-base-significand NPM

significandf

Return an integer corresponding to the significand of a single-precision floating-point number.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/number-float32-base-significand

Usage

var significandf = require( '@stdlib/number-float32-base-significand' );

significandf( x )

Returns an integer corresponding to the significand of a single-precision floating-point number.

var toFloat32 = require( '@stdlib/number-float64-base-to-float32' );

var s = significandf( toFloat32( 3.14e34 ) ); // => 10000011000010001110111
// returns 4293751

s = significandf( toFloat32( 3.14e-34 ) ); // => 10100001011000001010101
// returns 5288021

s = significandf( toFloat32( -3.14 ) ); // => 10010001111010111000011
// returns 4781507

s = significandf( 0.0 ); // => 00000000000000000000000
// returns 0

s = significandf( NaN ); // => 10000000000000000000000
// returns 4194304

C APIs

Usage

#include "stdlib/number/float32/base/significand.h"

stdlib_base_float32_significand( x )

Returns an integer y corresponding to the significand of a single-precision floating-point number x.

#include <stdint.h>

int32_t y;
stdlib_base_float32_significand( 3.14f );

The function accepts the following arguments:

x: [in] float input value.

Notice

This package is part of stdlib, a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
