Significand

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

Examples

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var round = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-round' );
var pow = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-pow' );
var toFloat32 = require( '@stdlib/number-float64-base-to-float32' );
var significandf = require( '@stdlib/number-float32-base-significand' );

var frac;
var exp;
var x;
var s;
var i;

// Generate random numbers and extract their significands...
for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    frac = randu() * 10.0;
    exp = round( randu()*44.0 ) - 22;
    x = frac * pow( 10.0, exp );
    x = toFloat32( x );
    s = significandf( x );
    console.log( 'x: %d. significand: %d.', x, s );
}
