Binary string containing floating point representation (Float class)
This intrinsic function converts a numeric value to the binary string equivalent
of its floating point representation.
The FloatToBinary function is available as of version 7.5 of the Sirius Mods.
Syntax
%string = float:FloatToBinary
Syntax terms
- %str
- A string variable to receive the converted value of the method object number. Since all Float types are processed in Model 204 as Float Len 8, FloatToBinary always returns an 8-byte string.
- number
- A Float value.
Usage notes
The inverse of the FloatToBinary method is BinaryToFloat.
Examples
The following program demonstrates the FloatToBinary method.
begin
%i is float
for %i from -5.5 to 5.5 by 1.1
printText {%i:right(5)}: {~} = {%i:floatToBinary:stringToHex}
end for
end
The result is:
-5.5: %i:floatToBinary:stringToHex = C158000000000000
-4.4: %i:floatToBinary:stringToHex = C146666666666666
-3.3: %i:floatToBinary:stringToHex = C134CCCCCCCCCCCC
-2.2: %i:floatToBinary:stringToHex = C123333333333333
-1.1: %i:floatToBinary:stringToHex = C111999999999999
0: %i:floatToBinary:stringToHex = 0000000000000000
1.1: %i:floatToBinary:stringToHex = 4111999999999999
2.2: %i:floatToBinary:stringToHex = 4123333333333333
3.3: %i:floatToBinary:stringToHex = 4134CCCCCCCCCCCC
4.4: %i:floatToBinary:stringToHex = 4146666666666666
5.5: %i:floatToBinary:stringToHex = 4158000000000000
