Create a double-precision floating-point number from a higher order word and a lower order word.

Package Exports

  • @stdlib/number-float64-base-from-words

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/number-float64-base-from-words) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

From Words

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status dependencies

Create a double-precision floating-point number from a higher order word and a lower order word.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/number-float64-base-from-words

Usage

var fromWords = require( '@stdlib/number-float64-base-from-words' );

fromWords( high, low )

Creates a double-precision floating-point number from a higher order word (unsigned 32-bit integer) and a lower order word (unsigned 32-bit integer).

var v = fromWords( 1774486211, 2479577218 );
// returns 3.14e201

v = fromWords( 3221823995, 1413754136 );
// returns -3.141592653589793

v = fromWords( 0, 0 );
// returns 0.0

v = fromWords( 2147483648, 0 );
// returns -0.0

v = fromWords( 2146959360, 0 );
// returns NaN

v = fromWords( 2146435072, 0 );
// returns Infinity

v = fromWords( 4293918720, 0 );
// returns -Infinity

Notes

  • For more information regarding higher and lower order words, see to-words.

C APIs

Installation

npm install @stdlib/number-float64-base-from-words

Usage

#include "stdlib/number/float64/base/from_words.h"

stdlib_base_float64_from_words( high, low, *x )

Creates a double-precision floating-point number from a higher order word and a lower order word.

#include <stdint.h>

uint32_t high = 1074339512;
uint32_t low = 1374389535;

double x;
stdlib_base_float64_from_words( high, low, &x );

The function accepts the following arguments:

  • high: [in] uint32_t higher order word.
  • low: [in] uint32_t lower order word.
  • x: [out] double* destination for a double-precision floating-point number.
void stdlib_base_float64_from_words( const uint32_t high, const uint32_t low, double *x );

Examples

#include "stdlib/number/float64/base/from_words.h"
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    uint32_t high = 1074339512;
    uint32_t low[] = { 0, 10000, 1000000, 1374389535 };

    double x;
    int i;
    for ( i = 0; i < 4; i++ ) {
        stdlib_base_float64_from_words( high, low[ i ], &x );
        printf( "high: %u, low: %u => %lf\n", high, low[ i ], x );
    }
}
