Export assignment toWords

• toWords(out: ArrayLike<number>, x: number): ArrayLike<number>
• toWords(x: number): ArrayLike<number>

• Splits a double-precision floating-point number into a higher order word (unsigned 32-bit integer) and a lower order word (unsigned 32-bit integer).

  Parameters

  • out: ArrayLike<number>

    output array

  • x: number

    input value

  Returns ArrayLike < number >

  output array

  Example

  var Uint32Array = require( `@stdlib/array/uint32` );
  
  var out = new Uint32Array( 2 );
  
  var w = toWords( out, 3.14e201 );
  // returns <Uint32Array>[ 1774486211, 2479577218 ]
  
  var bool = ( w === out );
  // returns true

• Splits a double-precision floating-point number into a higher order word (unsigned 32-bit integer) and a lower order word (unsigned 32-bit integer).

  Parameters

  • x: number

    input value

  Returns ArrayLike < number >

  output array

  Example

  var w = toWords( 3.14e201 );
  // returns [ 1774486211, 2479577218 ]
