Significand

Return an integer corresponding to the significand of a single-precision floating-point number.

Usage

var significandf = require( '@stdlib/number/float32/base/significand' );

significandf( x )

Returns an integer corresponding to the significand of a single-precision floating-point number.

var toFloat32 = require( '@stdlib/number/float64/base/to-float32' );

var s = significandf( toFloat32( 3.14e34 ) ); // => 10000011000010001110111
// returns 4293751

s = significandf( toFloat32( 3.14e-34 ) ); // => 10100001011000001010101
// returns 5288021

s = significandf( toFloat32( -3.14 ) ); // => 10010001111010111000011
// returns 4781507

s = significandf( 0.0 ); // => 00000000000000000000000
// returns 0

s = significandf( NaN ); // => 10000000000000000000000
// returns 4194304
