bitsToReal

bitsToReal

> Functions

Returns the real number whose internal representation is the integer x*: the 64 bits of *x are read as they are as a real in IEEE 754 format (double precision). It is the inverse function of realBits.

Note that the function does not read x as a binary representation: bitsToReal(10110) does not return 22 but 4.995e-320, a tiny denormalized number, because the integer 10110 only has a few low-order bits set. To write a number in binary, use the 0b10110 literal.

Parameters

• x: The 64-bit integer to read as an IEEE 754 real.

Return

• real: The real whose bits are those of x.

Note

• Available from LeekScript V4. See also realBits.
