# Precision
> Effective number of bits in the [significand][significand] of a [half-precision floating-point number][ieee754].
## Usage
```javascript
var FLOAT16_PRECISION = require( '@stdlib/constants/float16/precision' );
```
#### FLOAT16_PRECISION
Effective number of bits in the [significand][significand] of a [half-precision floating-point number][ieee754].
```javascript
var bool = ( FLOAT16_PRECISION === 11 ); // including implicit bit
// returns true
```
## Examples
```javascript
var FLOAT16_PRECISION = require( '@stdlib/constants/float16/precision' );
console.log( FLOAT16_PRECISION );
// => 11
