We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.
The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.
When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.
To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!
FLOAT16_EXPONENT_MASK
Mask for the exponent of a half-precision floating-point number.
Installation
npm install @stdlib/constants-float16-exponent-mask
Usage
var FLOAT16_EXPONENT_MASK = require( '@stdlib/constants-float16-exponent-mask' );
FLOAT16_EXPONENT_MASK
Mask for the exponent of a half-precision floating-point number.
// 0x7c00 = 31744 => 0 11111 0000000000
var bool = ( FLOAT16_EXPONENT_MASK === 0x7c00 );
// returns true
Examples
var toWord = require( '@stdlib/number-float16-base-to-word' );
var FLOAT16_EXPONENT_MASK = require( '@stdlib/constants-float16-exponent-mask' );
var x = 11.5;
var w = toWord( x ); // 0 10010 0111000000
// returns 18880
// Mask off all bits except for the exponent bits:
var out = w & FLOAT16_EXPONENT_MASK; // 0 10010 0000000000
// returns 18432
// Mask on the exponent bits and leave other bits unchanged:
out = w | FLOAT16_EXPONENT_MASK; // 0 11111 0111000000
// returns 32192
C APIs
Usage
#include "stdlib/constants/float16/exponent_mask.h"
STDLIB_CONSTANT_FLOAT16_EXPONENT_MASK
Macro for the mask for the exponent of a half-precision floating-point number.
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.
