Binary string containing floating point representation (Float class)


The FloatToBinary intrinsic function converts a numeric value to the binary string equivalent of its floating point representation.

Syntax

%string = float:FloatToBinary

Syntax terms

%string 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.
float A Float value.

Usage notes

Examples

  1. 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
