@stdlib/constants-float64-exponent-bias

What is @stdlib/constants-float64-exponent-bias?

@stdlib/constants-float64-exponent-bias is a package that provides the bias of a double-precision floating-point number's exponent. This constant is useful in various numerical computations and algorithms that involve floating-point arithmetic.

What are @stdlib/constants-float64-exponent-bias's main functionalities?

Retrieve the exponent bias

This feature allows you to retrieve the bias of the exponent for a double-precision floating-point number, which is 1023. This is useful in floating-point arithmetic and conversions.

const EXPONENT_BIAS = require('@stdlib/constants-float64-exponent-bias');
console.log(EXPONENT_BIAS);

About stdlib...

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!
