This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@stdlib/constants-float64-high-word-significand-mask) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
FLOAT64_HIGH_WORD_SIGNIFICAND_MASK
High word mask for the significand of a double-precision floating-point number.
Installation
npm install @stdlib/constants-float64-high-word-significand-maskUsage
var FLOAT64_HIGH_WORD_SIGNIFICAND_MASK = require( '@stdlib/constants-float64-high-word-significand-mask' );FLOAT64_HIGH_WORD_SIGNIFICAND_MASK
High word mask for the significand of a double-precision floating-point number.
// 0x000fffff = 1048575 => 0 00000000000 11111111111111111111
var bool = ( FLOAT64_HIGH_WORD_SIGNIFICAND_MASK === 0x000fffff );
// returns trueNotes
- The higher order word of a double-precision floating-point number is a 32-bit integer containing the more significant bits which include the exponent and sign.
Examples
var getHighWord = require( '@stdlib/number-float64-base-get-high-word' );
var FLOAT64_HIGH_WORD_SIGNIFICAND_MASK = require( '@stdlib/constants-float64-high-word-significand-mask' );
var x = 11.5;
var hi = getHighWord( x ); // 0 10000000010 01110000000000000000
// returns 1076297728
// Mask off all bits except for the significand bits:
var out = hi & FLOAT64_HIGH_WORD_SIGNIFICAND_MASK; // 0 00000000000 01110000000000000000
// returns 458752
// Mask on the significand bits and leave other bits unchanged:
out = hi | FLOAT64_HIGH_WORD_SIGNIFICAND_MASK; // 0 10000000010 11111111111111111111
// returns 1076887551C APIs
