@stdlib/number-float64-base-exponent
Advanced tools
Return an integer corresponding to the unbiased exponent of a double-precision floating-point number.
@stdlib/number-float64-base-exponent is a package that provides functionality to extract the exponent from a double-precision floating-point number (float64). This can be useful in various numerical computations where understanding the exponent part of a floating-point number is necessary.
Extract Exponent
This feature allows you to extract the exponent from a given double-precision floating-point number. In this example, the exponent of 4.0 is extracted, which is 2.
const exponent = require('@stdlib/number-float64-base-exponent');
const exp = exponent(4.0); // returns 2The math-float64-exponent package provides similar functionality to extract the exponent from a float64 number. It is comparable to @stdlib/number-float64-base-exponent in terms of functionality but may differ in implementation details and additional features.
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!
