## Usage
|
||
|
|
||
|
<!-- eslint-disable id-length -->
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
var FLOAT64_HIGH_WORD_EXPONENT_MASK = require( '@stdlib/constants/float64/high-word-exponent-mask' );
|
||

|
#### FLOAT64_HIGH_WORD_EXPONENT_MASK
|
||
|
|
||
|
High word mask for the exponent of a [double-precision floating-point number][ieee754].
|
||
|
|
||
|
<!-- eslint-disable id-length -->
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
// 0x7ff00000 = 2146435072 => 0 11111111111 00000000000000000000
|
||
|
var bool = ( FLOAT64_HIGH_WORD_EXPONENT_MASK === 0x7ff00000 );
|
||
|
// returns true
|

## Notes
|
||
|
|
||
|
- The higher order word of a [double-precision floating-point number][ieee754] is a 32-bit integer containing the more significant bits which include the exponent and sign.

## Examples

// returns 1076297728
|
||
|
|

|
// Mask off all bits except for the exponent bits:

|
// returns 1075838976
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Mask on the exponent bits and leave other bits unchanged:
|
||
|
out = hi | FLOAT64_HIGH_WORD_EXPONENT_MASK; // => 0 11111111111 01110000000000000000
