npm install @stdlib/number-float64-base-set-high-word
var setHighWord = require( '@stdlib/number-float64-base-set-high-word' );
Sets the more significant 32 bits (higher order word) of a double-precision floating-point number x
to a bit sequence represented by an unsigned 32-bit integer high
. The returned double
will have the same less significant 32 bits (lower order word) as x
.
