Package Exports
- @stdlib/number-float64-base-get-high-word
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-get-high-word) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
High Word
Return an unsigned 32-bit integer corresponding to the more significant 32 bits of a double-precision floating-point number.
Installation
npm install @stdlib/number-float64-base-get-high-word
Usage
var getHighWord = require( '@stdlib/number-float64-base-get-high-word' );
getHighWord( x )
Returns an unsigned 32-bit integer
corresponding to the more significant 32 bits of a double-precision floating-point number.
var w = getHighWord( 3.14e201 ); // => 01101001110001001000001011000011
// returns 1774486211
Examples
var floor = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-floor' );
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var pow = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-pow' );
var getHighWord = require( '@stdlib/number-float64-base-get-high-word' );
var frac;
var exp;
var w;
var x;
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
frac = randu() * 10.0;
exp = -floor( randu()*324.0 );
x = frac * pow( 10.0, exp );
w = getHighWord( x );
console.log( 'x: %d. high word: %d.', x, w );
}
C APIs
Installation
npm install @stdlib/number-float64-base-get-high-word
Usage
#include "stdlib/number/float64/base/get_high_word.h"
stdlib_base_float64_get_high_word( x, *high )
Extracts the unsigned 32-bit integer corresponding to the more significant 32 bits of a double-precision floating-point number.
#include <stdint.h>
uint32_t high;
stdlib_base_float64_get_high_word( 3.14, &high );
The function accepts the following arguments:
- x:
[in] double
input value. - high:
[out] uint32_t*
destination for higher order word.
void stdlib_base_float64_get_high_word( const double x, uint32_t *high );
Examples
#include "stdlib/number/float64/base/get_high_word.h"
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
double x[] = { 3.14, -3.14, 0.0, 0.0/0.0 };
uint32_t high;
int i;
for ( i = 0; i < 4; i++ ) {
stdlib_base_float64_get_high_word( x[ i ], &high );
printf( "%lf => high: %u\n", x[ i ], high );
}
}
