Set Low Word
Sets the less significant 32 bits of a double-precision floating-point number.
Installation
$ npm install math-float64-set-low-word
Usage
var setLowWord = ;
setLowWord( x, low )
Sets the less significant 32 bits (lower order word) of a double-precision floating-point number x
to a bit sequence represented by an unsigned 32-bit integer low
. The returned double
will have the same more significant 32 bits (higher order word) as x
.
var low = 5 >>> 0;// => 00000000000000000000000000000101var x = 314e201;// => 0 11010011100 01001000001011000011 10010011110010110101100010000010var y = ;// returns 3.139998651394392e+201 => 0 11010011100 01001000001011000011 00000000000000000000000000000101
Setting the lower order bits of NaN
or positive or negative infinity
will return NaN
, as NaN
is defined as a double
whose exponent bit sequence is all ones and whose fraction can be any bit sequence except all zeros. Positive and negative infinity
are defined as doubles
with an exponent bit sequence equal to all ones and a fraction equal to all zeros. Hence, changing the less significant bits of positive and negative infinity
converts each value to NaN
.
var pinf = ;var ninf = ;var low = 12345678;var y = ;// returns NaNy = ;// returns NaNy = ;// returns NaN

To run the example code from the top-level application directory,
$ node ./examples/index.js
Tests
Unit
This repository uses tape for unit tests. To run the tests, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:
$ make test
All new feature development should have corresponding unit tests to validate correct functionality.
Test Coverage
This repository uses Istanbul as its code coverage tool. To generate a test coverage report, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:
$ make test-cov
Istanbul creates a ./reports/coverage
directory. To access an HTML version of the report,
$ make view-cov
Browser Support
This repository uses Testling for browser testing. To run the tests in a (headless) local web browser, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:
$ make test-browsers
To view the tests in a local web browser,
$ make view-browser-tests
