Precision

Effective number of bits in the significand of a half-precision floating-point number.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/constants-float16-precision

Usage

var FLOAT16_PRECISION = require( '@stdlib/constants-float16-precision' );

FLOAT16_PRECISION

Effective number of bits in the significand of a half-precision floating-point number.

var bool = ( FLOAT16_PRECISION === 11 ); // including implicit bit
// returns true

Examples

var FLOAT16_PRECISION = require( '@stdlib/constants-float16-precision' );

console.log( FLOAT16_PRECISION );
// => 11
